vte has accessibility issues that cause orca not to read incoming content in terminal emulators that use it

Description
Steps to reproduce. First, activate orca. If you are in gnome, press alt+windows+s. If orca is not installed, install it. Open any terminal that uses vte, gnome-terminal and mate-terminal do, and there are others. Run any command that produces a lot of output. I frequently play mud (multi user dungeon) called alter aeon, but running a software update, running an rsync job, etc should do it. You'll notice that orca will start out reading the output, but will quickly start intermittently reading, skipping lines, cutting off the first letter of the text, etc. This is hard to track down exactly when this occurs but it will happen eventually. I can provide a debug log if needed.
