In that example you have someone reporting a bug, not knowing that it
was AT-SPI related. He had just turned it on by accident. I can see how
you would get many more of these if it was on by default :( The solution
for this user was to switch off AT-SPI, but of course that does not fix
the bug :)
I guess what we really need is an a11y bug-squad that could test for,
triage and ideally fix a11y bugs. I can try to round up such a team,
though how much actual fixing they will be able to do depends on the
technical skills of those who join. I guess well-informed and
well-triaged bug reports are better than random ones though.
