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

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

A few questions:

1. Is it limited to espeak-ng or do you see it in espeak too?
2. If you set punctuation levels to None, does the problem still happen?
3. Could you send me a full debug.out in which the problem occurs?
   Bonus points for small files which only show the problem so I can
   readily find the offending output.

Thanks!
