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

If gedit is a graphical clone of vim and this same bug shows up in one 
or both of these editors it may be a library both use that has the bug. 
As a shot in the dark, you might test xemacs but before doing so, check 
for libraries it uses and see if any of those libraries are used by 
plume and/or gedit.
