Re: [orca-list] Orca gets stuck in some top pannel applets

[Doug Lawlor <doug douglawlor com>]

To add another observation to this problem:

If the user has focus on the volume control applet and then presses tab 
to move to another applet, focus is given to this new applet but no 
speech is presented to the user to indicate this. If the user presses 
the applications key to bring up a context menu related to the applet 
they will discover that they are given options related to the new 
applet. Pressing the escape key announces the name of the new applet.

Producing this problem:
1. Press alt+control+tab until you hear "top panel". Press tab until you 
hear you are in the volume control applet. Pressing tab after this point 
produces no speech. Press the applications key and a context menu is 
presented for the current applet the user is on. Pressing the escape key 
will announce the name of the new applet.
I should add that I am using revision 4036 from svn.
