Re: [orca-list] more than one blank space are not recognized in thunderbird

[jose vilmar estacio de souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Running with eSpeak I got:

1. The prase is read correctly when reading all the document or 
reviewing by line.

2. If there is a word ended with a . and two blanks, the "." is read 
together with the word.

3. If I remove a blank after the "." and read the line again, the "." is 
not read.

4. Reviewing char by char, the first blank is not announced
