Latency when typing in Thunderbird
|
Sile
Hello all
I have just moved onto a Windows 10 machine and am running the latest version of Thunderbird and of NVDA. When typing in thunderbird, there is some latency (I am echoing letters when typing). It is almost a letter behind. Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions for fixes? thanks, --Sile

Yep I face the same issue. I tried to compose a mail in tBird and even with the advanced search off, I got between 5 and 10 seconds between letters and arrowing through the message, in fact my whole machine locked. Theres a huge memory leak somewhere and I want to find out whare.

I did have this problem when I first updated to the latest version of thunderbird, however, for whatever reason, it seems to have fixed itself. No clue what changed, (nothing as far as I know), but obviously, something did, because the problem went away. I'm using windows 8.1 and NVDA 2019.1 and thunderbird 60.6.1 if that makes a difference.

Don't know about Tbird but the Alexa web based app seems to exhibit this issue, I put it down to a slow connection but if its doing it on offline stuff then maybe not?

Hi All,
Try booting your computer. Start NVDA. Kill any unnecessary processes from Task Manager (Acrobat, Dropbox, iTunes, etc), and then launch TB. Chances are there won't be a lag. Start up the apps you can't live without one by one, and as soon as TB lags, you'll know who the culprit is. HTH! John

I'm very skeptical that that will help. If
the computer were being used to that extent by processses, the whole computer
would be intolerably slow. This problem isn't complained of in other
programs. there is no reason to believe, based on what has been said and
not said, that this is a general problem.

This kind of problem is the reason why I changed from thunderbird to gmail web client. I did not know it before, but it`s really accessible and it has a lot of helpful shortcuts. What prevented me to know that was the fact that you need press nvda + space to make it accessible and to activate keyboard shortcuts on gmail settings.

I had a problem with the sluggishness of thunderbird so I switched to the built-in mail app in windows 10.

Hi
Not getting it on this end and am using the latest thunder bird and the latest version of nvda and windows 10 version 1809.
Out of curiosity are you doing it from a braille display or the normal keyboard on a computer?

I’m only noticing it in Thunderbird, even when I have other apps closed. The latency in applications like word, etc., is pretty nonexistent no matter how many processes are open. But the latency is always there and Thunderbird.

I never have had sluggishness issues with Thunderbird and NVDA. I know earlier versions of JAWS had all sorts of issues. According to users of the latest version of JAWS, this should no longer be a problem.

This probloem seems to vary from one machine to
another. There is another one that seems to vary as well. Some
people complain that Thunderbird is slow to open messages and some people say it
isn't. the same is evidently true of this problem.
I wonder if there is some technical commonality in
the machines that are slow. I don't have the technical knowledge to
speculate knowledgeably about what it might be but I wonder if it might have to
do with hardware. I don't know how a chip set is defined but I wonder if
that might be a common cause.

Maybe it would disclose something interesting if
people reporting these problems told us what brand and perhaps model of computer
they have. Perhaps some technically
knowledgeable list members might find some commonality.

If you are using a high-footprint synthesizer or one that depends
on SAPI5, that could have something to do with it. I am running
Thunderbird on three machines with typing echo on and am not
experiencing any latency. On 4/1/2019 6:07 PM, Sile via Groups.Io

Hi there. I’m not experiencing any latency when typing and Thunderbird. As I said previously, I have a PC with the 12 GB of RAM, when terabyte of hard drive, and an eighth of June I seven. I have to say though that I had received four gigs of RAM, and I three and 293 gigs of Hyridge five and there was not late in Seattle. I wonder what this could be. Sorry for the errors, but I used dictation.

But wouldn’t I be seeing latency everywhere if that was the case?
