I'm hoping this is fixed in GNOME CVS HEAD, which will find its way into
Orca v2.17.4 in a little over a week.  Can you try make line 632 in
gnomespeechfactory.py do the following (it used to have _("") instead of
""):

            oldText = oldText.replace("\n", "", 1)

This should hopefully fix the problem.  If it doesn't we need to know so
we can keep working on it.

I just tried this in gedit using Orca from GNOME CVS HEAD and cannot
reproduce the problem.  Can you send the text file that you're look at
in gedit?  In addition, which synthesis engine are you using?
