Hi, Didier: I think I and you are agreeing to disagree, which is certainly OK by me, too. It's very much a nit. Also, I don't think I would have even spoken up had the original posting mentioned Orca. But, it didn't. It mentioned some app called screen-reader. That little detail has gotten lost while we argue about replace vs restart. Perhaps my real complaint is renaming (or aliasing?) Orca as screen-reader. Who does that help? But, it's still a nit. I agree about moving on.
