https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598797 which is actually due
to a VTE bug/regression which I subsequently filed:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598814

Yesterday I did two things on this front:

1. Checked in a work-around fix into Orca git master. This solves the
problem by not triggering the silly VTE regression. As I commented on
the bug you filed, it would be great if you could pull Orca git master
and let me know if this solves the problem for you.

2. Attached a patch to the VTE bug to undo their regression. Assuming
that (or a variant) gets accepted, it will also solve the problem for
subsequent GNOME releases. People who like to build everything from
source can certainly try it as well. :-)

Hope this helps. Take care.
