Re: [orca-list] Broken feature: SayAll

[Joanmarie Diggs <joanmarie diggs gmail com>]

Hi all.

I just committed a patch which restores the functionality that was 
broken. Now textLines() tries TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_END and if it gets 
absolutely nothing in response, it falls back on the old 
TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_START that we were using.  What this means is that 
some applications, such as gnome-terminal (and thus w3m), will once 
again have a functional sayAll but will speak things by line and need 
special handling added to have sayAll by sentence.  Gedit, Evolution, 
and OpenOffice.org will speak things by sentence though.  As for 
Firefox, that was broken before so it's broken still.  I'm in the 
process of getting a working sayAll completed for Firefox.  It will read 
by sentence.  Stay tuned!
