Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Mate 22.04 getting stuck

    It seems that with Debian Bullseye 11.4,  the lockup  happens less 
often on my system.  ORCA was updated to version 3.38.2 although I'm not 
sure that matters.  Pressing insert-space to bring up the preferences 
menu can get you out of the situation, or killing the Marco process is 
another way.
