STR:

  1. In a Linux directory with several files, run ls | pr -2Tn.
  2. Navigate the output by word (with either NVDA or Narrator).

Expected behaviour:

Each word is announced.

Observed behaviour:

When navigating across a line boundary, strange things happen: it looks like the entire line (except the last character or two) are included in a word!
