Description Nolan Darilek 2009-04-04 03:42:39 UTC 
In a text area, blank lines are spoken as "end of line" rather than "blank."

Confirming.  When I enter text in the "Additional Comments" area of a bugzilla page, Orca reads empty lines as "newline" instead of "blank" whereas the same text in gedit results in "blank" being spoken.

Pylinted; not yet regression tested, but it seems safe and solves the problem for me. I'll run the regression tests. In the meantime, Will please review. Thanks!

Also retargeting for 2.26.3 as it seems low risk. Plus in looking at this bug I found a case where right arrow was not speaking anything when it should have been announcing the blank line. (Technically a different bug, but this patch fixes that issue as well.)

Looks good to me.  Many thanks, Joanie!  I say commit to master and gnome-2-26.

Thanks Will. I wanted to run all of the Firefox regression tests just to be sure. Took me longer than anticipated to get around to that. Sorry! Anyhoo, having done so, I've now committed this fix to master and the gnome-2-26 branch. Closing as FIXED.
