Yes, I assume we're talking about an older version of Orca. This was 
fixed a few versions ago. I'm still running Orca 3.18.2, and I'm also 
seeing this bug. I didn't see it when I was running a newer version of 
Orca, although I don't recall what that version was. I still need to get 
Orca updated on this machine.
