[orca-list] just discovered that first character is not spoken when typing in a spreadsheet cell

[hackingKK <hackingkk gmail com>]

    Hello all.
I never discovered this because I always turn off the echo by character 
feature.
I type so fast that it is not at all usefull for me, infact counter 
productive.
But today I was setting up Orca for a computer lab for blind where they 
are going to create spoken tutorials for it.
this is a government funded project and the aim is to create audio 
tutorials for Orca.  They will be small enough (10 or 15 minits each) 
and will focus on one topic at a time.
any ways back to the issue at hand.
When I checked the checkbox for echo by character and started typing in 
the open office spreadsheet, I discover that the first character is not 
spoken.
for example when I type "name" in the a1 cell, orca responds as, 
"leaving table, a,m, e ".

meaning, it skips the N and says "leaving table ".

Has some one else faced the same problem?

Happy hacking.
