** Screen readers get confused about character position
The Emacs display code sometimes emits TAB characters purely for motion
on the terminal, even when those characters do not exist in the buffer.
This can confuse screen reader software under certain terminal emulators
(rxvt and vte have been cited). Switching to destructive tabs by running
stty -tabs
in the terminal before starting Emacs may mitigate this. See also the
