No problem. I use speech and braille in combination while speech is my 
prefered media. Because I got fully blind with the age of 14 and was able to 
work without braille before, braille is still a challenge and will always 
be. However, using Linux without braille, especialy for my, dows not 
work....

I also have very ofthen the situation that absolutely different lines are 
not spoken when they are at the end of a screen, e.g. at the button of a 
list in the mutt mailer.

Can this also be explained by the fact that the auto-speak feature does not 
see that the screen has scroled?

Can this be fixed by changing configuration or has it to be fixed a newer 
brltty release? It would be great to get this behaviour changed, that would 
speed up work a lot.

Ciao and thanks a lot for your work,
