Hi all, Samuel previously stated on this list that I was complaining but not helping with better Debian accessibility. Therefore, I'm asking here first to find out what I should do. Should I file a bug or is there something I can set in Speakup to get around the problem? The problem is with the ircII client. It seems to work fine and has no obvious accessibility problems. It is a text mode program and works fine from the console. However, everything I type is repeated by Speakup. If I type the slash for example, I hear "slash slash." If I'm typing a command like /help, I her "slash slash h h e e l l p p." I can minimize this by turning off key echo, but I don't understand why it echos everything. Is there a fix for this? Other irc clients don't have that problem and I haven't found any other programs that do that. I used to have a similar problem in DOS but it had to do with graphics. I think it might be how it writes to the screen, since the cursor isn't always on the same line as the text I type, but I think I tried turning off cursor tracking with no improvement. Should I use a different irc client, just live with it, file a bug or what? What other irc clients are people using? I've installed all the text mode clients that come with Debian, but I really think I like ircII best. Is there another client not available in Debian that I should compile from source? Is it an issue with the Debian scripts? Thanks all for any other thoughts you might have.
