Re: [orca-list] speech dispatcher (Re: punctuation not spoken properly when reviewingbycharacter in firefox)

["Steve Holmes" <steve holmesgrown com>]

Slightly off topic question here: If I go and manually apply the change
below, what will happen when I do subsequent updates via svn? Will 'svn
update' apply any relevant changes to this module or will gecko.py be
isolated from future changes.  Sorry, but still a bit ignorant about the
internals of svn/cvs and friends.  I'm really anxious to get this fix in and
don't know when it will be formally applied.
