Re: [orca-list] unable to stop speech with Orca 2.22.

["Paul Hunt" <huntp ukonline co uk>]

Hi,

I get this all the time with Orca when in gnome-terminal.  If I do a command 
that produces a lot of text like apt-get or commands for building packages. 
This is on Ubuntu Hardy RC.

Haven't seen it outside of gnome-terminal but I haven't been using Orca that 
long.  Is there anything that can be done to stop it happening?

Paul
