Howdy, I like "dot dot dot" myself. Thanks Storm On Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 04:05:22PM -0500, Joanmarie Diggs wrote:
Hey all. The problem turned out to be Orca treating any series of three periods in a row as an ellipsis for the purpose of saying "dot dot dot." I've now adjusted that so that it only treats three to four periods in a row followed by whitespace or the end of string as an ellipsis. That should make things saner. This does once again raise the question of what, if anything Orca should do about ellipses. Kendell periodically raises it, no one else says anything, and I have no opinions, so the topic dies. Given what the source of the bug was <insert eyeroll here>, I now have an opinion. My opinion is that you must have an opinion. <grins> 1. Given a unicode ellipsis char, should Orca turn it to "dot dot dot"? Yes or no. 2. Given a series of periods functioning as an ellipsis, should Orca force speak "dot dot dot" ignoring your punctuation level? Yes or no. Me, I don't care much either way. I would, however, like to reach consensus what the desired behavior is, and either document your wishes in the code or rip the code out.

Launch gedit. 2. Make sure that the Punctuation Level is set to all. 3. Type the following text, without the quotations: 'This is a test.......' 4. Read the text using up/down arrow. Result: Orca reads this is a test 7 dot characters. 5. change the Punctuation Level value to a value other than all. 6. Read the text using up/down arrow. Result: Orca reads this is a test....... My question: The results in step 4 and step 6 shouldn't b the same?
