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

Hi,

I can't see how SD and espeak would be causing this problem.  Maybe someone 
else will.  However, it would help everyone to know some information about 
your system.

Which Linux distribution and version?

Which version of gnome-terminal? To find this out, in gnome-terminal type 
the following:
$ gnome-terminal --version

Which version of emacs? (To find this out, in gnome-terminal type the 
following:
$ emacs --version

Which version of Orca?  To find this out, in gnome-terminal type the 
following:
$ orca --version
