NVDA doesn't give position information of submenus. #12832

Open TheQuinbox opened 3 years ago

TheQuinbox commented 3 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the NVDA menu, with guess object position information enabled.
  2. Arrow up, to exit. You'll notice NVDA says 12 of 12.
  3. Arrow down to preferences, then down to tools, then help. You'll notice that NVDA gives no position info whatsoever.

    Actual behavior:

    NVDA doesn't give position information for submenus.

    Expected behavior:

    NVDA should handle sub menus just as standard menu items, at least when it comes to positions.

Just gave this a try. Noticed the same behaviour as you did. I don't think it's a huge dealbreaker, at least with the example given, but I certainly think it can use some attention if possible.

I'd agree. Not a huge deal, but would be nice if it could be looked into.
