Created attachment 266645 [details] Debug file with hopefuly show why happening this issue Dear Joanie, In GNOME Shell 3.10 my Ubuntu 14.04 system Orca doesn't spokening the suspend option if I navigate in top bar the settings menu, choose power off menu item and press ALT key or hold down the left ALT key. Testcase: 1. In GNOME Shell 3.10 classic mode press ALT+F1 key combination, or activate the top bar. 2. Goto Settings category (press one SHIFT+TAB key combination. 3. The down arrow key select power off menu item. 4. Press left alt. This situation I hear only the "Ablak" (window) text. 5. Use up or down arrow keys to move the possible menu items, if have any selectable menu items. I don't no this situation possible selecting anything or not, because Orca nothing spokening after the left alt key press the previous step. Environment related informations: OS: Ubuntu 14.04 GNOME Shell version: 3.10.3 Orca version: latest master branch, 3.10.2 version not verified yet this problem. Locale: hungarian I attaching the debug.out file. I have possibility only tomorrow to examine this issue with Orca 3.10.2 version related. Attila
So this is really a couple of bugs in gnome-shell. The more significant one is bug 727259. That is both what causes Orca to say "window" and what causes the keys to stop working. They stop working even if you are not using Orca. The other one is bug 727258. That bug is that we are missing the expected accessible event. This is the less significant of the two bugs because even if we get that event it's not going to solve your problem. I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of the first bug I mentioned, because this bug is not "blocked". When the above bugs are fixed, Orca will automatically do the right thing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 727259 ***
