Orca crashes when switching between different apps (e.g. terminal windows) while the system is busy. This behaviour is reproducible on my system: - Open two gnome-terminal windows. - In the first, run "git gc --aggressive --prune" inside the cpython repository to make the system busy. - Wait 20 seconds until git starts compressing stuff. - In the second window, run "orca --debug". - Wait 3 seconds - Press Alt+^ (once or twice) to switch back and forth between the two windows.
What do you mean by "^"? in keyboard shortcut terminology it is ctrl. Is it the same behavior with alt+tab? Are you able to reproduce the same bug with the Mate desktop and mate-terminal? Is it the same behavior with two tabs instead of two windows?
Orca now crashes with a segmentation fault. I have a 44k orca debug file, if that helps.
Could you provide us the full file? Could you upload it on a pastebin service?
