This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In some situations, the items in the File menu are not read by the screenreader. One of the cases is when I type a line that contains an error and it is highlighted by the IDE. I leave the error and open the File menu, then the screenreader (JAWS) reads only some of the items. The same error applies for other menus, such as Edit, View... I found out that it doesn't happen only in this situation, but I was unable to locate the cause.
It is reproducible. Very important is to have an error in editor and stay with cursor on a line with this error. Then just push Alt key and the menu is not reading.
But is looks like bug in screen reader itself, am I right? I think it has no connection to our window system, so I'm passing to AWT/Swing category. But I don't know where the bug may be or how to fix it either...
No plan and resources to work on this now, sorry.
