Re: [orca-list] Orca and underline in openoffice

[Paul Hunt <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hi,

I just had a quick play with this.

Confirmed that Orca isn't announcing underlined text when you navigate 
by character or line.

And that it is not being indicated in braille.

However if you navigate via word (control + left and right) Orca is 
telling you about the underlined text.

I have a problem with this however.  The message about the underlining 
being on or off is kicking in at the wrong time.

If navigating to the right, the message about underlining being on is 
being spoken after the second word which is underlined.

And if you continue past the underlined text, Orca doesn't say 
"underlined off" until after the second word which is not underlined.

So, if I have the sentance

this is a sentance to test if orca is announcing changes properly

and I underline the words "test if orca is"

I hear the following when control + right arrowing across it;

this
is
a
sentance
to
test
if, underline on
orca
is
announcing
changes, underline off
properly

Which makes it sound like the words "if orca is announcing" are the 
underlined words.

Do you see this behaviour?

Paul
