I have an HP Envy laptop I bought last summer, and I'm also running
Ubuntu 16.04. I see the first problem you reported, but I'm not sure if
I've seen the second problem or not. I assume that this is because I'm
still running Orca 3.18.2. I haven't upgraded myself, but I've seen
posts from others on how to upgrade to Orca 3.26. I suspect this will
solve my problems and maybe your's if you're still running the Orca that
comes with Ubuntu 16.04.

Hey all,
I bought an HP Envy laptop about a month ago and installed Ubuntu 16.04. Once I began using it I ran into some issues. The first is the unresponsiveness of Orca. When I am trying to select text to copy or cut it to the clip board Orca does not speak. Also when I am entering commands at the console Orca loses focus of the prompt and it will not allow me to type. I have to switch back and forth from the Desktop and the terminal window several times to get Orca to gain focus of the prompt.
Has anyone else had these issues with Ubuntu and Orca? I have no choice on using Ubuntu 16.04 but if there is a way to install other tools to make the Ubuntu experience better I would be open to some suggestions. Thanks
