Re: [orca-list] When there is selected text and the cursor is moved with the arrows, the orca does not read the text to which the cursor was moved

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi joanie.

Most likely I must have done something wrong, but what is certain is 
that nothing seems to have changed after I have recompiled the orca.
When in doubt I pulled again and recompiled, but the orca's behavior 
remained the same.

I don't know if that matters, but I used gedit in my tests, although 
VSCode also exhibited the same behavior.

If necessary, I can capture and send a debug file.
Thanks.
