[nvda] Re: Try this.info on address book size

Hi.
Thanks for your thorough testing.
Does the problem persist after you close the address book?
Does it only occur after you perform an operation on the address book?
I'm not sure why this problem persists for so long. However, we do have some ideas as to how we might work around it. The problem is that OE basically floods MSAA events when you perform an operation on the address book. For every entry in the list, it sends one or more events; it rebuilds the entire list, but sends change events for every single item. This adds up to be a hell of a lot of events. We're hoping we can detect when a particular window is flooding NVDA with events and start compensating by ignoring them for a short period of time. If you're willing, I might have some builds for you to test in the next few weeks, but I don't want to commit this to the main snapshots for now until it's well tested.

and vanishing menus.
Its obviously not as simple as it might seem. It will always do it if
the address book is 700 entries, but when you get down to 638 and lower
first the context menu returns, then the main menu starts to only go
away sometimes. All this is as you do operations on the list of email
addresses lik send, delete add etc.
So, its getting hard to actually tell a bottom limit to the problem, but
350 seems quite OK to me. Now you may be thinking, who in their right
mind would have that number of addresses in their book. Well let me tell
you, when you start dealing with councils, the NHS, and government
departments, its not hard to achieve!

As you can imagine, nobody ever sends an email to say they have left or
wahtever, so until you have cause to email them, you do not really know
if they are still current of course.

So, I will continue deletion from a copied address book down from the
614 I have at the moment when its sometimes a problem and sometimes not
if you like, but I have no more time just now.

The surprise is that the two menus are affected differently and I also
notice that sometimes the yes and no boxes or whatever also stop working
The big snag is that the error persist in other applications until you
terminate nvda and restart it.

With no error sound only that queue full stuff to go on, I hope this has
been of help.

Unfortunately, as the nvda menu also fails to read in this condition,
one has often a problem getting at the log and grabbing it.

I have a machine here with OE not set up so if I can get the time and
brain
cells I'll give it a whirl with a dummy address book.
I guess its the weird way the address book shuffles up and down the
visible
list from an internal bigger list. it always did seem a completely silly
way to do stuff, as things stay in there and are just masked it seems.

Oo, how many, a lot I'd say.

If possible, try to find out how many is necessary to reproduce this
problem. It's possible that it won't occur with small addressbooks, so
the test may depend on this.


I have never filed a ticket, so is it easy to do?
