[orca-list] a couple of bugs in profile changing



hi all
I'm writing in to report a couple of bugs encountered when using the
unbount shortcut to cycle to the next profile. These could be bugs in
the ibmtts synthesizer which mellisa uses on her computer, I'm not
positive. When changing profiles, the synth changes, but when reading
text, orca still uses the pitch from the previous profile when reading
text and not the pitch of the new profile. To clarify, I have espeak set
to the default pitch of 5.0 but ibmtts uses a slightly lower 4.5, and
when reading text orca uses the 5.0 pitch. Also, if you enter the orca
preferences to change settings, when the ok button is pressed the speech
slows down significantly. The way to get around this is to go back into
the preferences and move the rate slider up and then down, which
restores the rate to normal, and then press the ok button. The last bug
is when changing back to the previous profile. The synth isn't changed
when changing to the previous profile but the pitch, rate, etc are.
These could be bugs in ibmtts, I can't test on my own computer since I
don't install it on my systems. Can anyone who uses voxin confirm this?
You'll need to first set a keyboard shortcut for cycling to the next
settings profile. To do that, go into the orca preferences, switch to
the "keybindings" tab, and locate the item called "cycles to the next
settings profile". It's in the unbound section, unless you've set a
shortcut for it. Press enter, then press the keys you want to be bound
to it. I'd suggest something like orca+right arrow but you can use
whatever you like. Then press enter to confirm. Orca will confirm the
new shortcut. Then press the "ok" button to save your settings. This is
with sonar linux 16.07, orca master completely up to date as of 10
minutes ago.
Thanks
