PROBLEM STATEMENT

I have no idea what might be causing this, but I was trying to write a script to attach to another bug I was logging, and the script is resulting in a unexpected pyatspi LookupError

REPRO

1.  Run uia2atk/test/samples/menustrip.py
2.  Run the attached pyatspi script, and remember to click on the menustrip.py application's title bar when prompted.
3.  The script attempts to do the following:

    1. Perform a 'click' action on the "Edit" menu to open it
    2. Perform 'selectChild(1)' on the "Edit" menu to select the "Paste" menu item
    3. Print the states "Paste" menu item
    4. Press the "Down" key to move the keyboard focus from the "Paste" menu item to the "Copy" menu item.
    5. Print the states of the "Paste" menu item again

RESULTS

When attempting to call queryAccessible on the paste menu item so that I can print the states of the "Paste" menu a second time, the script crashes and I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bug.py", line 51, in <module>
    ai = paste_menu_item.queryAccessible()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyatspi/accessible.py", line 207, in _inner
    raise LookupError(e)      
LookupError

This is unexpected and weird, because I do the exact same thing earlier on line 41.

EXPECTED RESULTS

I would expect the queryAccessible method call to succeed :)

COMMENTS

This seems really weird to me, but I rebooted and ran the script several times to verify.  I am able to do similar tests in Accerciser just fine, but I can't duplicate the exact test case as this script from Accerciser .
