------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jun 12 07:08:38 +0000 2009 ------- When I open the menu bar with Alt or F10 key and press right arrow, the caret jump the edit menu and pulling down, Orca says the edit main menu and first menu item. When I press right arrow again, the caret moved the next main menu and jumps the first menu item. When I press Escape key, after this the right and left arrow keys work right. This method very difficult to use with beginner blind users, because: I tested another GNOME applications (Evolution, Gedit etc) and this applications use following method: 1. The main menu open key any application is F10, Alt key does'nt open the menu bar. 2. When I press left or right arrow keys, the caret moves only main menus, but does'nt pulling down the selected main menu. This method is right. I ask this problem with Orca Mailing List, and Willie Walker answer this: "This is the keyboard navigation behavior the OpenOffice team has chosen to implement and is independent of whether Orca is running or not. It is indeed different from what other toolkits do on the GNOME platform. :-( The result of focus going to the menu bar when you press/release Alt seems strange to me as well. Perhaps another OOo design choice. Maybe it's meant to behave like Windows or something. I don't know. Heh - in GTK, the menus are actually pulled down, but focus remains in the menu bar rather than going to a menu item." This problem is present with all Openoffice.org applications. Because it is an Openoffice.org feature, possible do a checkbox with any preference page to turn on or off this function?
