Yup, precisely. And people on this list keep telling me that in
the last few Orca versions, this bug has been fixed, that when
hitting that shift+down arrow, it should have spoken, and said it
was working. One person even using Debian stretch like you told me
that it worked for them. Can't recall who it was, but anyway. It
was the same person who firstly told me that this issue was not
happening any longer.
So, yeah, I'd love to know what the hell they're doing
differently than any of us, as obviously, you, too, reproduced the
same behavior. So, guys, I'm not doubting you all that clame it
works, do know that, but which is it? Does it, or does it not
work? And if it does work, then why for us won't it? This just
doesn't make sense. I'm getting complete mixed answers here.

Hi,
Chris.
I've just tried to test what I understand to be your problem. I
think I'm getting the same result you are, but tell me if I'm on
or off track.
I'm using Firefox 52.6.0 and Orca 3.26.13 on Debian Stretch.
I went to www.debian.org. I then used the h key to get to the
heading where the description of Debian begins. I pressed control
plus down-arrow to select that line, than did it several more
times. Orca did not tell me that the text was selected. I then
used control-c, and it did tell me that the selected text was
copied. (I forget the exact wording.)
I then opened gedit and pasted the text into an empty document.
The text was there, although arranged a bit differently than on
the Web page.
Is this what you're talking about?

OK, I got Orca updated. I'm now on 3.27.4

Unfortunately, this didn't fix the issue with me not being able
to select text within firefox, and Orca verbally telling me as I
do so.
It's not really that I'm not willing to just get over it young,
it's not gonna work. It's more I'm concerned, and admittedly
stumped why so many of you clame that it works, and does indeed
speak while selecting text, yet for me, it's not doing so. If
you all are getting a feature to work that I cannot get working,
that concerns me. Mainly because, if this is broken for me,
who's to say something else isn't as well. I'm hoping Joni or
someone else may chime in here eventually.
Matthew Dyre did call me, and we discussed my settings, and
configuration a bit. Even he! agrees with me that there is
absolutely no reason really why this shouldn't be working. OK,
given I'm on a daily build of 18.04, I can kind of see why this
would be having issues. I mean, it's a beta. What do you expect?
Things can be buggy, come on! But, here's the thing. I've tried
this as well on Ubuntu 16.04, 17.04, and 17.10. I've tried both
with Voxin, and with ESpeak, so it's not a TTS issue either,
which, I never thought it was to start with. All those
environments were running Orca 3.26, which I updated to 3.27.4
Pre. In both cases, they are not working with Firefox 57, nor
with the 52 E S R build.
I'm totally clueless.
I'd love to know if anyone has any idea what on earth is causing
this to not work.
I could get you all an Orca debug so you could see what's going
on, but I can't remember how to do that, nor where the file is
then maintained on the system.
Chris.
