As Krister pointed out, this is already a known bug in Evolution.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347347

We are tracking it with Orca bug #353458
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353458

I suggest adding comments to bug #347347
to let the Evolution developers know just how
much the fix is needed.

Yes, we like this idea too. I've open Orca bug #422475
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422475

Thanks.
