Characters being dropped when using softsynth.

Characters being dropped when using softsynth.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209]

Hi all,

      For a while, I've noticed that when the screen is scrolling, I lose a 
few characters every so-often.  I never see this when I read the whole 
screen by pressing the plus key, but just as text is coming in.  It 
happens with my shell prompt, sometimes, or when reading text using alpine 
or lynx.  A good test for me is to go to http://www.sixxs.net/  Then I 
select the item that gets me into the site.  If I page up and down a few 
times, 
It'll happen sooner or later. I don't think I've ever heard ten good 
pages, 
usually it happens a lot sooner than that.

      I'm using the latest version of Speakup and ESpeakup.  Can anyone 
reproduce this?

           TIA.

Might this be a curses issue?

A friend who is sighted came over and was using orca for a while today and 
noticed that the letter (o) would speak but wouldn't show up on the screen 
as he worked with gnome-orca on debian.  That was with the version that 
was current on June 22, 2009 since we just updated today to a new version 
of orca.  He's very fast at typing though so that may have had something 
to do with it.
