Thanks, that helped. It was indeed a problem with the refactoring.
The debug.out file shows a couple of types of traceback:

AttributeError: Script instance has no attribute 'restoreOldAppSettings'
AttributeError: Script instance has no attribute 'adjustForPronunciation'

You mentioned that you are using the self_voicing.py script.
That's the only Orca script that subclasses from orca.script.Script
instead of default.Script.

The recent refactoring moved a load of routines from util.py
into default.py, so unfortunately they are not available to the
self voicing script.

I've got something I'd like you to try. I've modified self_voicing.py
to subclass from default.py. I've attached this new version of the
script to this email message.

Could you save it in your .../orca/src/orca/scripts directory (perhaps
saving a copy of the old one first just in case you want to revert), then
reinstall Orca and see if it works for you.

Thanks.
