Beta, but, I even tried all this on another system running 16.04, and even that! everything you wrote isn't working.


This is why I said, if you could call me, and let's try figuring this out, I'd appreciate it. You're welcome to block your number from caller ID, if you'd like for privacy sake. I sent you my number in another message.

So, given that I am using Ubuntu 18.04, where would I go to find what version of Orca I am running, and what would the exact commands be in terminal I'd need to do in order to get it updated? Note, I'm using Voxin, so if this would break Speech Dispatcher  causing it to revert back to ESpeak temporarily, then let me know. I've got a hearing loss, and ESpeak to me just! doesn't! work. I do have a braille display though if needed.

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.

First of all, given the fact that in Firefox, and though I've not tried, I'm guessing probably also Thunderbird doesn't read with Orca at all when you try selecting a block of text with shift+down arrow, or however you choose, what is the easiest way to know what's selected, to be sure you're not getting too little, or too much content before hitting CTRL+C to copy the selection to the clipboard?


On Debian 8 Jessie, with Thunderbird 52 GTK2 and Orca 3.24, the selection works. Same with Firefox ESR 52 GTK2. What is your Orca version and Linux distribution? I assume it's a bug.

Best regards.
