Re: [orca-list] Espeak, FC6, Firefox and my first comfortable email using orca!

[Krister Ekstrom <krister kristersplace ws>]

Hello Darragh,
Some of your wishes are being worked on. The selecting of text in Evo,
is already filed as a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org, unfortunately though
i'm not good at remembering long links so i can't give you a direct
link, but it's there. I agree with the other wish as well, i haven't
deleted by word ever, didn't know that was possible...
