Bug#872912: gnome-orca: Segmentation fault when switching between windows.

[Alex ARNAUD]

Thank you for providing those information. Don't forget to CC the bugs 
mail (872912 at bugs.debian.org) to ensure everybody will receive the mail.

Orca is a python program so it couldn't segfault so the issue is not 
into Orca but in one of its dependencies.

To figure out what program produces the segfault you could follow those 
steps:
0) I never try to figure out a segfault from a python program so I'll 
learn with you on this bug :)
1) Install the following package for debugging : gdb python3-dbg
2) run gdb for python3 : "gdb python3"
3) in the gdb prompt write :
3.1) set logging on
3.2) run /usr/bin/orca

Could you provide us the generated GDB log file? (default name is gdb.txt)

Best regards.
