Re: [orca-list] Chrome Locking Up

[Nimer Jaber <nimerjaber1 gmail com>]

Hello,

Just to follow up:

This bug is somewhat fixed. I use Gmail on the web, and in web apps, when using, for example, down arrow to go down a long list of messages, after a minute or so, Orca seems to lock up. However the fix is that once I switch away from the browser and switch back, it seems to unlock. It's happened to me twice thus far, while typing this email.

Thanks.

Something else to try: Do not use --force-renderer-accessibility, but disable chrome://flags/#enable-auto-disable-accessibility and restart chrome.

Hello,

Running Chrome with force-renderer-accessibility does, indeed, rectify this problem. For the longest time, this flag wasn't needed, so I didn't think of running Chrome with it...

Does it make a difference if you launch Chrome with --force-renderer-accessibility?

Unfortunately, nothing shows up in the generated debug.out. Wondering if there is some sort of logging in Chrome to try to pin this down... So it seems that arrow keys and navigation commands still work, but tab does not work, neither do keyboard shortcuts used by web apps, such as j and k in Gmail or Twitter.

I'm not experiencing this, but I suggest you turn on debugging in Orca,
and look for relevant error messages in the debug log.
