Thunderbird view menu > folders submenu items state is not always announced when toggling state #17119

Open burmancomp opened 2 months ago

I have noticed that in part of cases it would help that state change event would be handled somewhat similarly as name change event is handled. It seems that some times both events are fired and sometimes only one of them. As to headers item I feel that no nvda event is generated (nvda does not report state change of headers item at all).

Steps to reproduce:

Change any item state in view > folders submenu, repeat several times if needed

Actual behavior:

State change is not always spoken or shown in braille.

Expected behavior:

State change should be always spoken and shown.

The question is also whether Thunderbird fires the correct events, actually the enabled event is always intercepted by NVDA when pressing enter after moving the focus from the menu item e.g. "grouped folders" and back to the menu item. Pressing enter then triggers the event once. But if you continue pressing enter there is no event fired anymore unless you move the focus back and forth again with the arrow keys.

cc: @emitche, @thgcode is there anything that can be done from Thunderbird's side?
