Re: [orca-list] keyboard loses focus after logging in

[Jace Kattalakkis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

I've found a partial fix


It's simply solved by disabling Braille in Orca, and is a known bug with

when discussing the issue with someone who uses Mate full time. That 
sorted the issue down from it locks up to it very rarely locks up
