If I open a preexisting file, and make no changes, I can read, using the cursor keys and orca. If I insert characters, orca will no longer speak, until I switch to another application's window, and back. Sometimes, this happens when removing characters, as well. I have tested this both in virtual machine installations, and on "bare metal", and on two different machines; same behavior. I installed the mousepad editor, from the xfce group, and did not see this-- I could read with no difficulty, adding, removing, selecting text, as I should be able to do in gedit. Until a fix is found, my suggestion would have to be to use libreoffice writer or install mousepad for working with text files, in a gui application. Normally, I use nano, in the terminal, especially for texts that must not get formatted by the editor. Is anyone else testing the pre-releases woth orca?
In the Trisquel 7.0 pre-release build, dated June 14, I cannot use gedit with
the included orca screen reader.
