Re: [orca-list] Reworked presentation of native word navigation

[Milton <milton duurzaamdigitaal org>]

Hi Joanie,


I discribe 2 cases below but if it is not what your change is about, 
just forget this mail.


👍 😉

Case 1
Ubuntu 20.04 in dutch
With Orca master and espeak set punctuation to 'All'.
Start Gedit or Pluma.
type the signs 'Left brace' and 'Right brace' divided by a space.
{ }
With Ctrl+Left/Right
Orca says correct 'Linker accolade' and 'rechter accolade'. Also 
Arrow-Left/Right speaks correctly.

But with Arrow Up/Down to read by line Orca says 'vierkante haak' 
'vierkante haak sluiten'. Those are the Dutch names for 'Left bracket' 
and 'Right bracket'.

Case 2
Ubuntu 20.04 in Dutch
With Orca master and espeak set punctuation to 'All'.
Start Gedit or Pluma.
type the signs 'Left bracket' and 'Right bracket' divided by a space.
[ ]
With Ctrl+Left/Right
and also Arrow-Left/Right, Orca says 'linker haakje' and 'rechter haakje'.
Those are the Dutch names for 'Left parenthesis' and 'Right parenthesis'.
But with Arrow Up/Down to read by line, Orca says correctly 'Left 
bracket 'Right bracket', however not the Dutch words 'Vierkante haak' , 
'Vierkante haak sluiten'.
