Re: [orca-list] Problems with orca and evolution

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

The page for finding known bugs for Orca and application bugs that 
prevent Orca from providing good access to them can be found here:

 http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Bugs

The Evolution-specific bugs can be found here:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=423346&hide_resolved=1

I think the particular problem regarding the message list not updating 
may be related to this known bug in Evolution:

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351516

I'm not sure what might be happening with the unresponsiveness aspect.  
It may be that Orca is being flooded with events from Evolution.  I've 
filed a new bug on your behalf for this:
