I especially like the new cursor tracking for general editing both in
text editers such as emacs and the shell command line as well.  But
for curses type programs like pine or mutt, the only saving grace is
the application moves the cursor while moving the highlight.  If you
really wanna see something that doesn't track well with speakup now,
try a menu inside the dialog facility available for shell scripts.
I'll bet cfdisk doesn't track well either.  Perhaps we need a way to
turn this cursoring off for those occasions when a light bar is being tracked.

Now as to your backspace issue, the only text editor I know for sure backspace doesn't read on is pico. Works great with nano and emacs though, so I'm not sure what "most" text editors you're using.
