Hi Hermann.
OK, if it is not too much work; but no need to hurry.
Not too much work at all. In fact, this sort of thing is easy, and easy is good. <smile> I've attached a new patch that should be applied to the very latest Orca from svn (i.e. the one you're using, but not necessarily the one that others reading this are using). Save it to your Desktop. Assuming that Orca is in your home directory: 1. cd ~/orca 2. patch -p0 < ~/Desktop/newfix 3. sudo make install Then quit and relaunch Orca. What this patch should do is only echo the stars if key echo by character is enabled AND alphanumeric and punctuation keys are also enabled. If you wouldn't mind giving this a test and letting me know what you think, that would be awesome! Take care. Joanie
