Description Brian Merrell 2009-03-24 19:03:39 UTC 
PROBLEM STATEMENT

Orca gives no notification that a drop-down menu has been opened, even though the menu appears to receive the correct states (i.e., +showing, +visible, +focused).

REPRO

1.  Open Accerciser, click on the "Interface Viewer" tab, and expand the "Accessibles" expander.
2.  Run uia2atk/test/samples/combobox_dropdown.py (or combobox_dropdownlist.py)
3.  Press Alt+Down in the ComboBox sample application to bring up the drop-down menu

RESULTS

Orca doesn't say anything to notify the user that a menu has opened

EXPECTED RESULTS

Orca should say something like "Window" followed by a brief pause, and then say "Menu."

COMMENTS

Expected behavior verified using uia2atk/test/samples/gtkcomboboxentry.py with the REPRO steps above.

lanuch the application:

BRAILLE LINE:  'ipy Application ComboBox control Frame'
     VISIBLE:  'ComboBox control Frame', cursor=1
SPEECH OUTPUT: 'ComboBox control frame'
BRAILLE LINE:  'ipy Application ComboBox control Frame 1 $l'
     VISIBLE:  '1 $l', cursor=2
SPEECH OUTPUT: ''
SPEECH OUTPUT: 'text 1 selected'
 
drop down and selcet the next drop down item:

SPEECH OUTPUT: 'window grayed'
BRAILLE LINE:  'ipy Application ComboBox control Frame  Combo2 2'
     VISIBLE:  '2', cursor=1
SPEECH OUTPUT: ''
SPEECH OUTPUT: '2'
BRAILLE LINE:  'ipy Application ComboBox control Frame'
     VISIBLE:  'ComboBox control Frame', cursor=1
SPEECH OUTPUT: ''
SPEECH OUTPUT: 'ComboBox control frame'
BRAILLE LINE:  'ipy Application ComboBox control Frame  Combo2 2'
     VISIBLE:  '2', cursor=1
SPEECH OUTPUT: ''
SPEECH OUTPUT: '2'


when select "2", orca can read the following string:
"window grayed"
"ComboBox control Frame"
"2"

I  think it is acceptable.
