Yes, I think blank lines should be spoken as the word "blank" when moving
through whatever line by line.
Depending on punctioation settings, one will hear nothing when you get
onto a line with e.g. dashes or underlines.
May be there are some situations where one does not this, but i cannot
think of any.Regards, Willem

Hi Nolan, thanks for your comments please see my response below.
But, anyway, I experienced a minor annoyance for which I have a
patch, but before submitting it to bugzilla I want to make sure a)
there isn't some other way/good reason for things being done this
way, and b) that I've in fact made the change in the best place for
it. :) When editing documents, I was annoyed by Orca not speaking
blank lines, because when I press a key and don't receive any
feedback I generally assume that nothing happens--I've reached the
top/bottom of the list/whatever and focus doesn't wrap, there is no
valid use for that key, etc.
This is a feature that we plan on implementing for the next release of
orca. I had intended to make this a user preference to be changed in
the config UI. I wonder, do users think that blank lines should be
spoken by default? Also, should this even be a preference or do users
always want this functionality?
thanks
Mike
