Description Tim Miao 2006-04-26 09:22:52 UTC 
According to gnopernicus, once user press Ctrl+Esc to popup the launch menu
list, gnopernicus will report "Menu, 13 items". If you press Down arrow and move
focus onto Accessibility, gnopernicus will report "Accessibility Menu shortcut,
3 items".

If you start running orca and repeat the steps above, you could only get the
output of orca speech "Menu" and "Accessibility Menu". It's hard for speech
users to know there are several submenu items below current menu item. Orca
should have some prediction feature.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch orca.
2. Press Ctrl+Esc to popup the launch menu.
3. Press Down arrow to move focus onto Accessibility menu item.

Expected result:
1. After step2, orca could report the quantity of launch menu item.
2. After step3, orca could report the quantity of submenu item if there exists.

Actual result:
Orca will not report the quantity of menu and submenu.

This bug can be found on vermillion_39/snv_38.

Making Orca behave exactly like Gnopernicus was a non-goal for the Orca project.  The fact that Orca does not announce the menu item count is a design feature of Orca that the UI designer specifically made.  I'm marking this as an RFE that we can do should the Orca user community decide it is a necessity.

Thanks!

We won't put this in the normal behavior when you navigate menu items, but we can certainly put it in the "Where Am I" functionality.  Something like "item 3 of 6 menu items."
