[orca-list] Opening application-specific preferences for Orca halts speech

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

Hi,

This is an off-the-wall thing that I tried. I've just tested it and it 
occurs both pre- and post-flag day.

In testing speaking of mnemonics, I've been using the Orca Quit dialog 
box. I decided that I would check and make sure that Orca was using the 
normal Orca Preferences within this dialog. When I opened the Quit 
dialog, then pressed control-Orca-space bar, I heard the preferences 
dialog open, followed by the two speech events through my DECTalk 
Express synth, then the speech tab was spoken.  After that, Orca stopped 
speaking. Pressing Escape twice will, after a short wait, return speech, 
with focus on the application which had focus before the quit dialog was 
invoked.

Please let me know if you want me to file a bug for this.

Thanks,

dave
