Re: [orca-list] More flat review changes: Menus in menu bars are now flat reviewable (and more!)

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,


So far I have nothing more to say that this all is working perfectly here.

I do have thunderbird table with about 52000 messages and that's working 
too after these updates.


Reviewing menubar using flat review is also working fine in mozilla 
apps, in libreoffice, GTK+ 3 and GTK+ 2 apps here unless the menu 
hierarchy is broken (see my earlier discussion on Spacefm). Of course I 
am not expecting this to change before spacefm is fixed, I am just 
putting a note for my-self and others who might be curious.


For QT5 based apps (I've just tested with transmission-qt) it works a 
bit differently. Items from various menu are presented in flat review 
the way they are visible on the screen. With other toolkits it appears 
to be filtered to the currently active menu e.g. if I press alt+f in 
thunderbird or firefox I can only see file menu content via flat review. 
I can't decide whether this might be an issue, I am just discovering 
things as they are working over here.

I'm running qt5-base 5.7.0 here. I haven't yet tested with QT4 based apps.



Thanks and greetings


Peter
