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

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Kendell.

I was not able to reproduce this. However, I've just committed quite a
few changes to master regarding setting voices. Therefore, could you
please test and see if the problem is solved?

If the problem is not solved, and if you can reproduce the problem with
using just espeak, could you please send me your settings files in which
espeak is the only synthesizer? If so, also please send me a simple,
numbered list of steps to reproduce the problem using those files.

Thanks!
