here are the beginnings of better behavior for this input method.

Please let me know what else I can do. I'm not sure my changes will run correctly. I couldn't see how to get it working strictly from the command line in the short amount of time i was working on it.
Let me know if similar changes are desired other places in this project, i'd be willing to work on it.

This probably needs to be forwarded to the upstream orca. E.g. their bugzilla, which is here -
