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

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

Thank you Joanie.

It is really funny.

Any ways I did as you instructed.

The word echo is now working although with a 2 second lag after I type.

I have 100 MBPS line so Internet speed is no issue.

My machine has 8 gb RAM so the machine also does not seem to be a
problem in context of Orca.

Secondly, read all still does not work as expected.

when I do caps + semicolon ";" it starts after 5 or 6 seconds and reads
something like "explore, no suggestions collapsed " and then a few other
titbits and starts from the beginning.

Even if I am in the middle of the document, it still starts from the
beginning.

Is this reproducible and a known bug?
