Hi all. Another user reported that here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca/-/issues/584
However, I'm unable to reproduce it, and Orca's own logging is showing nothing of use. The reporter of the issue says the problem also happens with older versions of Orca, such as Orca v46. So something presumably changed somewhere else, but Orca shouldn't hang. Therefore if someone is able to help pin down what is going wrong and could add the information to the bug, that would be great.
