This is indeed a known issue.  And one which has been improving, but is
still a "work in progress."

There are several workarounds.  The "preferred way" is to create
a .orbitrc file in your /root directory and disable gksu keyboard grab
in the Orca Preferences dialog.  Details on how to do this, along with
other workarounds, can be found here:

Hope this helps.
