Description chris 2013-06-06 15:00:22 UTC 
Orca does not echo the first word in an empty libreoffice document.

1. enable orca
2. enable echo per word
3. open LibreOffice (in my case 4.1.0.0. beta1 but other users confirm this with libreoffice 4.0.3)
4. Type:
Hello World


Result: Orca echoing "World"
Expect: Orca echoing "Hello World"

In Braile it seems to be shown  ( i dont use braile, but other users confirm this).

This is actually a LibreOffice Writer bug. We are sometimes getting a bogus event.detail1 from the associated text insertion event. As a result, a sanity check in Orca is filtering that out as being bogus.

Having said that, removing that sanity check will not produce horrible behavior in Orca, so I've made that change in master. And will keep word echo enabled for myself and be on the lookout for unexpected regressions.

Not until I'm sure it's not going to introduce a regression.
