I think that this can be an Orca bug, since running only the magnifier
the magnified screen is update normally when scrolling to a page or
typeing something. The magnified screen is always updated when something
in the screen has changed. I don't know why this doesn't when running
throw orca, maybe Willie can give us more informations.

A simple use case is if you open an terminal (with orca running) and
move the mouse next to the blink cursor and then stop the mouse. The
blink cursor is not updated, but if you move the mouse it's start to be
updated again.

But it can be also a regression introduced by the patch to control the
pointer drawing in gnome-mag.

BTW, thanks for this report Cole, this is an annoying behavior.

Best regards,
Carlos.
