Bug#744015: linux: speakup does not paste inside cat
Source: linux
Version: 3.13.7-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
While reproducing the bug #735202 [1] I discovered that speakup
completely stopped to paste under certain circumstances. Here are the
steps to reproduce:
- boot kernel 3.13.7-1 from unstable
- login as root
- modprobe speakup_soft (a working speech is not necessary to
reproduce the bug, so I skip loading espeakup service here)
- type the following, using numeric keyboard for numbers and slash:
a1//
now you have the "a" character in the paste buffer and you can
repeatedly paste this letter through kp_Ins + /. This works.
- cat
while being inside cat speakup paste does not work, although "paste"
word may be heard when sound is enabled. This accompanies pasting
under normal conditions.
- type C-z to leave cat, paste works again
Expected behaviour: paste should work also inside cat command.
Remark: pasting works inside cat when all is done inside screen.
