GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 352617
Orca does not receive events from NetBeans menu items
Last modified: 2006-09-29 00:33:25 UTC
Please describe the problem: Orca speaks top-level menus but does not speak NetBeans menu items. Tracing indicates no events are received by Orca when a NetBeans menu item is selected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run NetBeans 2. Run Orca 3. Hit F10 and arrow down the Files menu. Actual results: Silence Expected results: Orca should speak the menu items as they are selected. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Hi Lynn: Can you confirm that there are no events being sent at all by NetBeans? If so, this sounds like an AT-SPI implementation bug, either in Swing or NetBeans.
Could NetBeans be using it's own JVM where the Java Access bridge isn't installed?
Confirmed this is an AT-SPI implementation bug.
Thanks Lynn - please file an AT-SPI bug on the appropriate component and mark this one as being blocked on it. When you do so, please also prefix the subject of this bug with the string "[blocked]" as is the convention we've adopted for other blockers.
This is a duplicate of bug 353532. Both involve Java popup menus where Orca is not receiving the popup menu events. The workaround for 353532 is also a workaround for this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 353532 ***
