Re: [orca-list] word echo and read all not working in google docs

[kk's Programming Hub <kkproghub gmail com>]

This is getting more interesting now.

yes I can confirmed it happens with gedit.

But here's the twist in the tail.

I cleared all history and made a new document in google docs with chromium.

Now the delay in word echo is almost gone.

yes I can perceive some lag but it's not even more than half a second.

That is to say, just because I know how it aught to work I can feel the
difference else it does not cause any serious discomfort like before.

However the read all issue still happens.
