Thanks! From a quick glance, Orca isn't frozen. Orca is still getting and processing accessibility events even after that error. But it's getting those events from defunct accessible objects, objects with ROLE_INVALID, etc.
I'll take a longer look next week and handle the currently-unhandled error. But the problem may persist. Orca cannot bring defunct/invalid objects back from the dead; it can only try to gracefully step around their bodies. Thus getting to the bottom of the Synaptic and/or AT-SPI2 issues needs to occur. I'd be curious to know what happens if, when the Synaptic issue occurs, you Alt+Tab into another accessible application. Does Orca present your interactions with that app?
