Hello,I can confirm what you state, but I ask whether this is incorrect. Let me do this with an example:
Open your file with ten star characters in it in nano (command: nano tmp.txt). Move to the line below the star characters and then press up arrow to go back to it, I get the correct announcement.
When you perform the cat operation you are getting output in another way (you are getting screen changing information). It is hard to think of a gui example which relates to this, the closest I can think of is copying from the clipboard in gedit. Try the following:
open gedit. Type "**********" (again without quote marks) select the stars and press control+c to copy. Create new document (not really needed but ensures we know what we start with) now press control+v to paste. Listen to orca, its the same as when you do cat in a terminal with tmp.txt.
So this doesn't seem to be a gnome-terminal issue, and questionably is not wrong. If you feel screen changes should be read with repeat characters then file an enhancement bug proposing this alteration.

To reproduce try the following steps: 1) create a file called tmp.txt with the following content: "**********" Please, omit the quotations. 2) Open a terminal session using gnome-terminal. 3) Type the following command: cat tmp.txt Result: orca reads * * * * * * * * * * Expected result: orca should read 10 characters * Using flat review keys announce the text correctly Thanks..
