Description Francesco Tissera 2024-03-01 14:43:35 UTC 
When trying to navigate files and folders in any directory with the Orca screen reader turned on, there is a consistent lag (a second or more) that impedes quick and efficient navigation.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn the screen reader on.
2. Open Dolphin.
3. Try to navigate files and folders with the left and right arrows
OBSERVED RESULT
There is a consistent lag that does not allow a smooth navigation.
EXPECTED RESULT
This lag should not be present at all.
