Hi Jac and all: The most current cvs version does say a space after each character backspaced over. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out why the second character which is sent out to cover the character you are backspacing over is spoken. Well, I know why it's getting spoken, I'm not sure why it is being triggered as a keystroke. Currently the cursoring is kind of broken because of the backspace problem I want to get nailed down and fixed once and for all. I will fix up the cursoring again as soon as possible.
