Re: [orca-list] Function "increase the speech rate" issue

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Hi Joani and all,
The problem is that the speed change does not work as it should, i.e. slower or faster is said, but in a few 
apps/versions orca does not actually slow 
down. For me this would be libreoffice writer only, at least that is all I've seen so far. 
I load a document, try and slow speech rate down, but it remains normal. 
I for sure agree that this should only effect the app/window one is using, or at least this should be 
default. I suppose a prefference option could be 
added to make the change persist until orca is restarted, but don't think that is worth the trouble of doing.
