[orca-list] Thunderbird/Firefox: Directory to save file in not spoken

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

I have run across this problem in both Thunderbird and Firefox. When I 
enter the Save As dialog box and Shift-Tab to the combo box used to 
display the directory in which the file will be saved, Orca does not 
speak the name of the directory when focus arrives at the combo box.

Examples to duplicate:

Thunderbird: A message arrives with an attachment. With the message view 
window open, pull down the File menu, choose Attachments, which produces 
a submenu containing the names of the attachments and a few other 
options. Arrow to the attachment you want to save, press the right arrow 
to get into the submenu, and select "Save As".  When the dialog box 
appears, Shift-Tab four times to reach the "Save In Folder:" combo box.  
Do you hear the name of the folder spoken?

In Firefox: You are viewing a page and you decide to save the page. Pull 
down the file menu and choose Save Page As. The Save As dialog will 
appear.  Shift-Tab four times to reach the "Save In Folder:" combo box. 
Do you hear the name of the folder where the page will be saved?

A work-around is to activate the combo box using the space bar, and the 
name of the current folder will be spoken. Press the space bar again to 
close the combo box.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

Thanks,

dave
