Hi Adam: I have been waiting to see just how long it took someone to actually notice the bug. It occured when Gille put the international languages support into speakup quite a long time ago. I have just not taken the time to make the fix although I am aware of it's location. I have been working with Daniel Drake to move speakup from cvs to git and I will fix the colour problem once that is complete. That is what causes speakup to beep constantly when cursoring left and right also. It continuely thinks the highlighting is changing because the colour attributes are not getting stored.
