[orca-list] Selecting Text in the Terminal

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Has anyone been able to select text in a terminal with Orca lately?  
What I tried to do was position the flat review cursor (mouse pointer) 
over the left most character and press the keypad slash key to left 
click it.  Then move over to the right most character and do a 
shift-slash to complete the selection.  At that point, I would hope to 
have a selection on the edit menu to copy the text.  Also, if I would 
press the keypad enter key, I would expect to hear the selected text.  
But the key never speaks any selected text and the copy option is never 
shown in the edit menu.  This all makes me think the text selection 
feature is now broken in Orca or something changed.  I can cut/paste 
just fine from other gnome apps and I can paste previously copied text 
from any other gnome app to the terminal and paste with gnome-terminal 
but I can't select for copy any text in the terminal with the above 
described procedure.

Any thoughts?
