PROBLEM STATEMENT The pyatspi.generateMouseEvent method is used to simulate a mouse click on an accessible control. The problem is that when the method is used to simulate a left mouse click on a menu, that menu does not open if the application window is active. If another application window is active when the generateMouseEvent method is issued, the application window that contains the menu being clicked becomes active and the menu opens. REPRO 1. Run uia2atk/test/samples/toolstripmenuitem.py 2. Run the attached pyatspi script from another terminal on the desktop , which does the following: 1. Findd the "Edit" menu of the above application 2. Prompts you to click on the toolstripmenuitem.py title bar (do this) 2. Uses pyatspi.generateMouseEvent to left click on the "Edit" menu RESULTS The "Edit" menu is selected, but does not open EXPECTED RESULTS The "Edit" menu should open COMMANDS This smells like it could be something that needs to be handled upstream. If you want to see the desired behavior, you can simply ignore the attached pyatspi script's request to click on the toolstripmenuitem.py title bar. This will cause the terminal from which the script is running to remain active while the toolstripmenuitem.py application window is inactive.
