I am finding that unity is somewhat unstable but I don't know what is
affecting it. I had at least one freeze yesterday that required a system
reboot as I could not find the particular application that caused it. I
am finding quite a number of segfaults in my syslog as well as quite a few
drm errors and constatnt connect and disconnect of acpid. I was not
seeing those under Natty using classic. I am not seeing those on my other
aptop using classic with oneiric. I am going to switch to gnome classic
on the computer having issues this morning and see if it continues. I
don't know if it is just certain packages, unity, orca or (most probably)
some combination of the above.
I tend to have pidgin and thunderbird open all the time for work and I
know thunderbird in this iteration has issues. I also run either eclipse
or have eclimd running but that is not consistent and does not seem to
relate (errors happen with or without those.
If anyone has any ideas where to start debugging these issues or where I
should report them please let me know. I would like to see this setup
work.

Hi all,
Further to my previous observations, I have a few more.
1. Many of the toggle buttons in system settings are simply labeled "switch"
and one must use Orca's review to see what
exactly they do. Some examples are the Bluetooth visibility and enabled
toggles, and the toggle settings in the Online
Accounts preference page. This is a minor issue for the most part, however
there seem to be random times when Orca's flat
review will not work in these windows. If I discover a pattern to this, I'll
let everyone know.
2. There seems to be no first letter navigation in the menu bar, that is, for
any app that integrates with Unity's global
menu bar. Is there a way to navigate these menus efficiently when you have a
large one, such as my bookmarks in Firefox. I
can't get first letter navigation to work nor does it seem to have a
highlight-as-you-type mode akin to OS X. The only way
I've been able to navigate these menus is with arrow keys alone. Has anyone
else noticed this? Is there something I'm
missing?
3. Sometimes Orca freezes and I have to manually go to a console and kill it.
This has been an issue with Orca for ages, but
I'd really hoped at-spi2/dbus would put a permanent end to it. It wouldn't be
so bad in and of itself, but it seems to
freeze the entire desktop along with it (meaning that I can't just hit my
shortcut key to get it back), and it's not even
considerate enough to log any relevant debug output even when the debug level
is set to full :-(.
Anyone else seeing these or have any advice?
Thanks
