SUMMARY When I have the screen reader activated, Konsole's UI and user input fields are read, but output returned from programs is not. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download the Fedora 41 KDE RC ISO 2. Boot it 3. Activate screen reader with Meta+Alt+S 4. Open Konsole with Ctrl+Alt+T 5. Type "ls" and run it. OBSERVED RESULT Orca reads the input "ls" but does not read what "ls" returns. EXPECTED RESULT Orca reads the input "ls" and reads what "ls" returns. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 41 (KDE Plasma) KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is being considered a blocker bug downstream in Fedora.
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.
Created attachment 175060 [details] attachment-1829310-0.html mmmmm. this is interesting, ill try to see how to inplement it.

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.

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?
