Looking for testers for the latest fix to bug #520494.

Hi all,

We are looking for experienced Orca users to try out the
latest
patch attached to bug #520494
http
://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520494

This patch adjusts the way that single characters are
presented.

Here's the original test case:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the Speech System to Speech Dispatcher
2. Set the Orca punctuation level to anything except All
2. Open any web page in Firefox 3
3. Use arrow keys to review the text character by character

Actual results:
The punctuation characters, such as dots, commas,
exclamation 
marks etc are not read.

Expected results:
The punctuation characters should always be read in the 
keyboard review regardless the current punctuation level.

Unfortunately Tomas, the original bug submitter is going
away on vacation for 4 weeks, and I don't have speech
dispatcher on my system, so I'm looking for feedback from
other Orca speech dispatcher users.

The patch can be found in the following attachment to that
bug:
ht
tp://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=108118

It's a patch against SVN trunk, but I see no reason why 
it shouldn't also work against Orca from the gnome-2-22 
branch (with a few line offset differences).

If you are familiar and comfortable with applying patches
to the Orca code, then configuring, building and installing
Orca from that source code, and use speech dispatcher,
your feedback on this patch would be most welcome.

Please either add it as comments to the bug, or back to this

list or directly to me. In the latter two cases, I will add

the comments to the bug so they are not lost.

Thanks.

Are read in my orca settings. I have last svn snapshot of
orca and I use
speech dispatcher with festival output. So it works without
your patch.

With espeak output not works. It works with your patch
only.

Huh guys I am now totaly confused or lost or something. I
simply don't 
know what to say. With the patch it works well for me. I am
using Espeak 
through speech-dispatcher. I have also tested with gnome
speech and I 
think expanding characters to their names is not necessary
in 
gnomespeechfactory because that was always working great.

After reading this comment by mr Buchal I am afraid the
problem might be 
somewhere in the speech-dispatcher, espeak or festival or
something else 
than Orca. Or festival simply treats all strings with length
of 1 as 
characters and does the correction it-self where Orca
fails.

With increasing number of comments posted to the bugtracker
this reveals 
too many issues I haven't realised yet. I will start
comparing it on 
monday as I am using ubuntu regularly during week-dasy
only.

thanks for all the comments

Peter
