    Thanks Samuel.  The ORCA Debian package only has xbrlapi as Reccomends.  There doesn't seem to be any warning by ORCA so if xbrlapi isn't installed the unsuspecting user has a Braille display that doesn't work properly.  Should xbrlapi be a depends instead? On 9/4/23 18:08, Samuel

    If I start VLC to play an audio file and press control-q to quit the file Marco gets locked up.  This renders ORCA useless because it can't read things properly.  The system is useless at that point.  A similar thing happens with MPV.  It was happening with Chromium until version 103 came
