Thanks Tim, that is a very interesting log file.
Reading the log file, we at least have one bug in Orca itself (a Python
"NameError"). I am not entirely sure whether this bug triggers the
"hung" process or the "hung" process triggers the "NameError".
I am reassigning this bug to gnome-orca for now, so the maintainer of
orca can have a look at it.
@Orca maintainers: The Orca log shows:
"""

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
