Bug 495102

Note that I can get it read everything properly if I double-press + on the number pad, but that doesn't work if I don't have a number pad, and I can't find a way to configure it to read it fully without the key press.

This is now worse in Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition 42 with Plasma 6.3.4. Now the terminal is not read by Orca at all, and double-pressing + on the numberpad does nothing.

*** Bug 431460 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Confirming as the forward-duped bug report was confirmed (and I can reproduce it as well).

Just ran into this today. Orca is highly unlikely to read output of any terminal commands, as in I heard it happen exactly once. I don't even think backspace announces delete characters and something is making Orca lag but that could just be my laptop.
A workaround is to install `gnome-terminal` and use that instead, but how obvious is this to new KDE users?
