I don't recall having this so much while typing in edit boxes or at
the terminal but I do notice a significant problem while in Firefox
and arrowing up and down particularly inside of table columns.  I am
forced to hear all the items I tried to skip over by rapid presses of
downarrow.  I would think if I press down arrow say ten times rapidly
that the rapid presses should interrupt speech and let me hear only
the final entry I rest on.  Instead, I have to sit through and listen
to all ten items I tried to skip.  This is particularly noticable with
table navigation; use the alt-shift-down arrow to read down a column
and do it real fast.  I also notice this to alesser extent when using
down arrow through a vertical list in the Nautilus file browser.
