Hello Ralf,
Thanks for the simplified script (smile).
Yes, I now see exactly what is going on. We did make a change where we
now internally queue the speak command. Meaning in 7.5.4.1 it was a
synchronous command and wouldn't return until we sent off the string to
speak but in the beta the speak method is no longer synchronous. So
you do the speak, we queue it, you reset the speech rate and after we
take a little nap we get around to actually speaking the test and of
course now it is to late as you have reset the rate back. This is why
in Immed it worked because I was going between each lines slowly. I put
a sleep after your speak command and now your little hotkey snippet works.
So we clearly broke this. We'll fix this before the final 8 ships by
making the speak method be synchronous again.
Thanks for hanging in there with me!
Doug
