Tracking down bugs

Hello,
How can I tell where a bug is coming from? Some examples of
this might
be:
In eclipse when it does some code completion (eg. showing
the parameters
for a method) orca does not speak or produce braille for
this bit of
code. Is it orca, or is it the accessibility information in
eclipse?
Also in evolution it used to be that you could tab to
attachments (eg.
the mime attachments in the digests you could tab to the
message you
want to reply to), but I can't do that in evolution now.

The problem is that I am always using orca so don't know if
applications
are behaving different when Orca is not running.

If you enable Orca debugging, the log file will contain all
of the details of
the objects and events provided to Orca by the application
via AT-SPI. That
way, you can find out what is being disclosed to Orca
through the
accessibility API.

The disadvantage of this method is that the log files are
enormous. However,
the braille and speech output are also logged, which should
make it easier to
find the parts of the interaction that are relevant to your
problem.

The Orca wiki provides instructions on how to enable debug
mode. It's easy:
just uncomment three lines in your ~/.orca/user-prefs.py
file.
Of course you can change the name and location of the output
file if you wish.
