Well, I stand by what I said. I'm running Orca 3.18.2 right now,
and it doesn't work. I've run more recent versions where it was
fixed, and you can check the archives to see when the fix was
announced. Of course, this doesn't mean that a regression hasn't
been introduced that broke this functionality again. Instead of
all of the drama, you could pat yourself on the back for reporting
a problem that needs to be investigated, and once fixed, will make
Orca better for everyone.

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 Pre.
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.
