Re: [orca-list] Unable to get speech with orca master in ubuntu 17.10.

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi

The only issues with menus I've experienced is the indicator applet 
menus. Those read with orca just fine, but orca only reads the name of 
the "system" and "messages" menus. The rest it just says "menu". I 
wonder if joanie can fix it?

Thanks
