Re: [orca-list] terminal password key echo issue

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Cody:

Unfortunately key echo is handled above the script level right now (it's 
in orca.py).  What's going on here is that the key being typed is what 
is being echoed rather than the characters being inserted.  To work 
around the problem, you can press Insert+s to toggle speech on and off.
