Re: [orca-list] Keyboard Mode Flat Review Bug



That's outrageous. Keys used for review have nothing to do with input.
Echoing them makes using flat review hopelessly cumbersome. Is the
notion that somehow your brain isn't supposed to hear those chars while
you hear what you're reviewing? Most brains don't work that way, imho.
Mine doesn't.

Oh, it's a bug all right. 

Do you mean to tell me that were I to enable echoing of function keys,
I'd hear "page up" and "page down" and "home" etc when using flat review
on the numeric keypad? Ridiculous and unusable.

Hi,

I have reported this before, but it wasnt seen as a bug by some other
members, I was told to simply disable the key echo.

I am hearing my key presses echo'd while attempting to read the
screen.  In other words, if I hold down CapsLock and press 'k' to
hear the current word, or 'i' to hear the current line, i first hear
"k" followed by current word, or "i" followed by current line.

This would be a bug, imho, but I don't see a bug for it. I can
attest it happens for one other Fedora user. Is it just us?
