Description Len DiMaggio 2006-09-06 20:43:07 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
With Dogtail and SPI built from CVS head on 20060905, running on FC5 - I'm seeing this exception when any Dogtail script is run (oo or procedural)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build Dogtail and SPI from CVS head
2. Run a Dogtail script
3. 


Actual results:
The scripts run - the exception is non-fatal

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes

Comment 1 Zack Cerza 2006-09-07 15:02:30 UTC 
This is the result of the workaround to application bugs. Instead of completely ignoring the exceptions that they cause AT-SPI to raise, dogtail prints them out. This behavior is only actually a bug if you want a way to keep the tracebacks from ever being printed. Please reopen if that's the case.
Comment 2 Len DiMaggio 2006-09-11 01:34:38 UTC 
I think that this one is worth fixing - even if the messages are non-fatal. The messages are ugly - and if you run a suite of many tests together (such as the Frysk tests), the messages are displayed many times.
Comment 3 Len DiMaggio 2006-09-13 20:02:55 UTC 
Suddenly - this bug not reproducible. I'll re-open if I can a a reproducible sequence that will cause it to happen...
