Orca no longer able to review MATE-Terminal output

[Marco Zehe]

To reproduce, launch Ubuntu 21.04 Daily, launch the screen reader, open a Terminal, and press CAPSLOCK+I to read the current line.

Expected behavior: Orca would read the line with the prompt where the cursor is.

Actual: Orca reads the menu bar. Using CAPSLOCK+O to move down a line, Orca says "Tab list", but further presses of the same key do not yield any more speech.

In 20.10, this works as expected, and I can review the full window contents from down at the prompt up to the menu bar, line by line.

Turns out this was fixed in Orca Master, but because current Daily builds still use Orca v3.38.0, this fix hasn't made it into the distribution yet. For background info, see a reply to my issue I filed against MATE desktop: https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/382#issuecomment-805599217. So it should definitely be made sure that, despite the whole of Ubuntu not updating to GNOME 40 for 21.04, Orca is updated to a revision that contains this fix.
