[orca-list] Spell check highlight with orca

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I have noticed that when using drivel for writing blog postings, it does 
not speak spelling errors like in thunderbird.

Here is an example when I am typing in drivel and press space after 
making a spelling mistake I only hear the word I typed (IE. it does not 
announce misspelled). If I do the same in thunderbird when writing a 
message, I hear misspelled as well.

What is different and how can I make orca announce misspelled in drivel 
as drivel does not have a spell checker where it presents you with a 
misspelled word and suggestions (eg. like openoffice does), but rather 
just relies on one using the highlighting. I know that drivel does use 
the correct misspelled highlighting for gnome as when I check the 
attributes of a character in a word I know I misspelled then orca will 
announce the spelling error.

Also I am open to other blogging clients if people can think of other 
ones which work better than drivel (eg. more features/better integration 
with blogger.com, and still work as well or better with orca).
