Re: Orca strange text,was Re: Announcement of highlighted text

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Aha!  Thanks Tomas!  When I was scouring the PO files, I ad an inkling
that a _("") would have caused this, but I wasn't sure.  It looks like
this is the culprit:

./src/orca/gnomespeechfactory.py:632:            oldText =
oldText.replace("\n", _(""), 1)

It seems to have snuck in as part of the newline change for bug 338838.
I just checked a fix for this into GNOME CVS HEAD.

Thanks everyone!
