text to speaker (on macos) not working in 12 and 13, but does in 9,10,11

Open kasperosterbye opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Bug description The mac has a text-to-speaker operation which allows text to be spoken by the computer. I suffered from an illness, which makes it hard for me to read text (I see it well, but I am just not good at reading). See this website on how to setup the text-to-speaker'.

To Reproduce

  1. Open any Pharo - Help - Welcome to Pharo
  2. Place the cursor at the top
  3. Press the "text-to-speech" on mac - in my case I use "option+return"
  4. I tried pharo version 9,10 and 11 - it says "welcome to pharo 11" (or 9 or 10)
  5. On 12 and 13 it says "Pharo 12.0 - 64bit (stable).image", which is the name of the pharo system, that is also the case for Pharo 13.
  6. The issue is the same in method (for example "String =", it is no longer possible to get the "..." spoken (text-to-stream)

I have no clue as to why that error has arrived in 12 and 13

In pharo 12, I have the impression that it ignores the selected text because I tried with several text selected and I always get the same output.

It works in Pharo 12 build 1426, but not in build 1427. Like in issue #16423, the difference is presumably due to the changes in pull request #16297.
