Description Jose Vilmar Estacio de Souza 2012-10-04 07:45:10 UTC 
If I learned correctly, in gnome shell the alt+esc can b used to switch between windows.

The problem is that  orca doesn't announce the name of the window
while cycling between windows using alt+esc. The announce is made only
after I release the alt key. This is not good  if I have many windows
opened.

The problem was detected in gnome 3.4 but I can reproduce using gnome 3.6.

Thanks for the triagging. Just a tip for the future. In order to simplify the bug management, I think that next time it would be better to add what you found in this bug, instead of creating a new one. I think that you created a new bug because you found that the bug was in gnome-shell, not in orca. For what it worth, you can change the component of a bug.

Anyway, as the other bug has more information (details of why it is happening and scripts), I will close thig bug as duplicate.
