Re: Orca Speech not interupting as expected

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bart:

There were some infrastructure problems on Ubuntu where Orca wasn't
getting keystroke events (Orca uses keystroke events as an indicator to
interrupt speech).  As a result, Orca wouldn't know when to interrupt
speech.  We never really figured out what was the cause of the problem,
but it seemed to go away in the latest Edgy stuff.
