Gedit no longer accessible with Orca screen reader

Orca becomes silent when tesxt is entered into or removed from the gedit text editing window. When a menu or dialogue, such as the 'save as' file chooser comes up, speech is restored until the text is again changed. Moving focus from the gedit window to another app's windiw, then back again, also restores speech until editor window changed. In other distros having GONOME, gedit works properly with orca. If gedit cannot be fixed, I suggest replacing it with one of Mousepad, Leafpad, or Pluma, all of whichy are known to work with Orca in Trisquel 7.
