Re: [orca-list] Espeak voice variations are not displayed in Orca preferences dialog.

I'm running Orca 3.4.2 on a Ubuntu 12.04 system with speechdispatcher
and eSpeak, and I don't have a problem with Orca indicating upper case
characters with a pitch increase. I do have the problem though where
once I get the pitch increase, it gets stuck there. I fixed this on an
earlier install with a work around, but this is a relatively new
install, and I haven't found what that work around was yet to get the
pitch increase from getting stuck at the higher pitch.
