Re: [orca-list] emacs not working well even under gnome-terminal

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

I don't use vm, so can't answer this question directly. However, if I'm 
typing within emacs inside of a gnome-terminal, I don't see this behavior. 
When I initially open a file, there is extra text spoken when I navigate 
from the first line to the second line of the file (sometimes it relates to 
the mode line, sometimes from I know not where).  However, once I move 
beyond the first line of the file, I only get appropriate speech output 
within the buffer. When typing within a file (both new as well as existing), 
I receive only appropriate speech output. As I said yesterday, the 
minibuffer and the mode line are not spoken correctly except by using 
flat-review.

Do you get this same behavior outside of vm?
