Re: [orca-list] problem with gedit

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

I really doubt it is unique to my setup. I did another totally clean 
install of ubuntu xenial, startedorca with control+super+s, opened a 
window in gedit, typed a few words, and pressed control+leftArrow to go 
to the end of the line. I can reproduce this error every time. I have 
discovered though that if I open orca preferences and click the Okay 
button, the problem goes away. I don't have to change anything in orca 
preferences. I just have to open the preferences dialog box and click 
the Okay button.

I think it is probably something that happened with an update to one of 
the libraries gedit and eclipse use to display text.  I have automatic 
updates enabled on my machines. This is out of necessity since I do 
linux desktop support and I have to have a setup identical to the 
desktops I support.

Maybe I'll try installing ubuntu yakkity. Or downgrading to orca 3.18. I 
doubt the problem is basically with orca. Maybe.
