Re: [orca-list] strange bug with orca and espeak ng

hi

I'm so sorry for the spam. This should hopefully be the last email on 
the subject today. I forgot to quote the command, so speech dispatcher 
didn't say the entire string. When I did, I got "a left eye in speech 
bubble" followed by the unicode code for that particular emoji. So 
speech-dispatcher seems to be saying it fine. So it looks like it 
"might" be an orca bug because of the emoji mangling when you arrow up 
and down the list of emojis. Once an emoji is mangled, left and right 
arrowing also produces mangled emojis. If it helps, I'm using both pluma 
and gedit to read the emoji list, to try to rule out bugs in pluma.


Thanks

Kendell Clark
