Re: [orca-list] problems with punctuation in orca

2007-08-08 Thread Willie Walker
The beeping you are experiencing is indeed strange.  I've not
experienced it before, so I'm not sure if this is Orca or not.  One
thing you might try is running orca from a gnome-terminal window and
checking to see if it emits any ominous looking stack traces as you try
to type.  If you get some, please send them on.

In addition, I wonder if the keys you are pressing are initiating some
sort of multi-key sequence for entering characters.  Do you have a
sighted colleague that would be able to try repeat your typing
experiences on your machine and logged into your account, except without
Orca running?  I'm curious if that person would run into the same
problems.

 What I mean is when I press Apostrophe or Quotes I get a beeping noise
 like an error message and any letter I type after that is missing or
 is run together for example if I type Michael's web site, all I get is
 Michaels Web Site.
 This is verry annoying if I am writing raw HTMl because it is making
 it impossible to create my hyperlinks, a field for my email etc.
 How do I resolve this problem?
 I use Ubuntu Feisty and a UK keyboard where apostrophe is supposed to
 be to the right of the keyboard, at is shift Apostrophe and shift 2 is
 Double Quotes.
 I can't understand why I am having this problem which I have had since
 Ubuntu has been installed as the At sign works fine.
