Re: [orca-list] punctuation not spoken properly when reviewing bycharacter in firefox

["Steve Holmes" <steve holmesgrown com>]

I'm not involved in any of the development but I most definitely can confirm
these problems.  I too agree that it is a serious bug that should be fixed.
Punctuation marks should *ALWAYS* be spoken when reviewing character by
character with flat review or with keyboard navigation in the web browser.
