There's a recent gtk change that is supposed to fix an a11y crash. It will 
be in 4.6.3, which looks like it is intended to be released now, looking 
at the git repository, but it isn't on download.gnome.org yet.

I was seeing an abort in gtkatspipango.c. Right now I'm using gtk 4 from 
the main branch, and I haven't seen that crash there.

Orca is not seeing keystrokes for me when I use gnome-text-editor. Is this 
happening for other people? I thought that I had that working at one 
point. It could be a problem on the AT-SPI side; I'm trying to look into 
it.
