GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 455349
flat-review speaks components obscured by popup menus
Last modified: 2007-10-09 20:48:14 UTC
In the SwingSet2 ComboBox Demo, open the 'Presets' popup menu. Use KP-4 and KP-6 to navigate through the popup menu. Orca incorrectly speaks the demo components that are obscured by the popup menu. This is an accessibility problem because it appears like the components under the popup menu are actually menu entries.
This is a more general problem. It also effects context-sensitive menus, that is, the onse that are invoke by a right-mouse click or Shift-F10. To reproduce: 1. Start SwingSet2 2. Hit Shift-F10 to launch a popup menu 3. Use KP-9 and KP-7 to move up and down the menu entries. Orca will speak the menu entry plus any components that are under the popup menu.
Lowering the priority and severity since Mike decided this is a very unimportant bug to fix. Flat-review is never really used for popup menus.
