Yes I am just running whatever came with Ubuntu 16.04. I will look into how to update Orca. Thanks

I assume that this is because I'm still running Orca 3.18.2. I haven't upgraded myself, but I've seen posts from others on how to upgrade to Orca 3.26. I suspect this will solve my problems and maybe your's if you're still running the Orca that comes with Ubuntu 16.04.

When I am trying to select text to copy or cut it to the clip board Orca does not speak. Also when I am entering commands at the console Orca loses focus of the prompt and it will not allow me to type. I have to switch back and forth from the Desktop and the terminal window several times to get Orca to gain focus of the prompt.
