Description Darragh 2007-09-18 08:04:11 UTC 
When in Multi or Single line edit fields, control + backspace normally deletes the word to the left of the cursor.  In Pidgin, Orca reads the word that is being deleted correctly however in evolution, gedit or open office, Orca does not.  Similarly, when deleting using the backspace key alone by character in the gnome-terminal Orca does not speak the letter that has just been removed.

Hi Darragh.  Thanks for your report!  These are known issues that have been fixed in GNOME 2.20.  Please see:

* Bug 353434
* Bug 353422
* Bug 401889

I have just verified that in all of the examples you mention, Orca now speaks the correct information.
