Hello,
Maybe i am speculating too much but this appears to me like the issue i have tried to report in my long message on mondayslow system responses, broken alt+tab key navigation and possibly other keyboard issues.

Greetings

I set Orca's preferences and made a couple of keyboard shortcuts, using the gnome control center, launched from the Unity launcher as 'system settings'.  I opened a Nautilus window on my home folder, also with the launcher, using 'super+2'.  Using the menu, I found and connected to my wifi access point.  With the connection now open, I hit some web pages.  Since gedit is not on the launcher by default, I used 'alt+f2' to type its name.  Orca was silent here.  Orca did not focus on the gedit window until I used 'super+3' to focus on my running browser, then use 'alt+tab' to go to gedit.  I could read and type in this window, but Orca was show to echo my typing or read the character at cursor.  Thinking I could speed up Orca by restarting it, I used 'alt+f2' to type 'orca --replace'.  The 'replace' switch seemed to be ignored, and I got two running instances of Orca.  I opened a terminal, using 'ctrl+alt+t', and had to play with app switching to get focus.  I typed 'orca --quit' to the terminal, to stop these instances.  I started orca from the terminal.  As a test, I tried opening the application manus with 'alt+f10'; orca did not read them.  I tried to switch to my gedit window, with 'alt+tab', and orca stayed silent until I released both keys. When speech resumed, it took several seconds to do so.  At this point, I decided the session was hopelessly thrashing, and mashed the power button to shut it down, since nothing was talking anymore.
