Re: speakup-ng clipboard functions broken
Hello Jude,
1. The behavior of speakup wrt copy and paste depends on the kernel in
use, as speakup is a kernel driver.
2. The kernel shipped in Slint is 4.19.67 since 27 August 2019 and is
not patched. Did you upgrade it recently running upgrade-kernel?
3. In Debian 10.1 (at least from the installer), uname -a reports:
Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67
I don't know if this kernel is patched wrt speakup. A Debian insider
could tell, and also that 4.19.0 differs or not from 4.19.67 on that
respect.
4. Please provide more information on what you did exactly and what
were the intended and actual outcome so I can try myself.
Best,
Didier

I use the clipboard in speakup to copy several things normally or did
until earlier today.
When copying an url I checked the contents of the clipboard since when I
tried to paste things didn't work any longer. All that was in the
clipboard was a series of slash characters with no intervening characters
of any kind. I suppose that's useful for ascii art but it doesn't work
here. I switched over to fenrirscreenreader and hope if it has a set of
cut and paste functions for a clipboard these work better than is the case
these days in speakup. I did the switch on slint and am wondering if
debian's version of speakup also has this flaw in it.
