[orca-list] some minor issues with orca in gnome 3.14

hi all
I've just decided to give gnome 3.14 another chance, after largely
abandoning it for mate. I still use mate, but thought I'd install
gnome on this desktop to see how it works. It's fantastic. There are
just a few issues that I thought I'd bring to the orca devs attention.
On my system, every time I hit the windows key, or as far as I can
tell any of my multimedia keys, play, next, home page, etc. Orca says
"window" every time the windows key is pressed, even if it's being
held down for another shortcut. Of course, if I release it it's going
to launch the dash. If I press any of my multimedia keys, orca says
"desktop frame,   icon view layored pane" before performing whatever
is set to this key. This is *not* a complaint, just a bit of aheads
up. There are some unlabeled buttons in the display settings boxes,
between the display gnome detects, and the resolution combo box. I
can't seem to use flat review to see what they are, because flat
review cannot detect a label. In the message tray, orca seems to get
kicked back to the desktop, when trying to right click an applet. This
doesn't happen with my software updater, but does with pidgin and
manjaro settings manager. I'd guess this happens because there isn't
any menu for orca to read, but pidgin is supposed to present a menu
for opening the buddy list, quit, etc.  Ok, I've solved the problem of
orca saying "window" every time I pressed the windows key. It was
caused by an extention called mod panel, which is supposed to let you
change the items taht show up on gnome's panel.
 There are lots of instances of needing to tab twice to get past
buttons in some of gnome's settings. Good examples are gnome tweak
tool and the time and date settings. Orca says for example, "internet
connection required" twice. There could be two buttons labeled the
same thing, so not sure. In gnome tweak tool, there are two unlabeled
buttons next to extensions, and you have to click on the second one to
toggle the extension, I'm not sure what the first one does. Other than
that, gnome is fantastic. I think I'll keep it on this machine, and
use mate on my laptop, since gnome doesn't like it very much. By the
way, all the issues in mate that I've mentioned on here, qt apps not
speaking on the panel, etc are not a problem in gnome, so it must be
mate specific.
Thanks
