Re: [orca-list] Function "increase the speech rate" issue

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

While I disagree about best default behavior, i.e. I think it better the way things are with speed change 
being temporary and only for the app window in 
focus, that is not the problem/bug.  Hearin slower or faster but not having the rate actually change when 
reading a focused document is a real problem.
