Hello,

in some menus NVDA behaves incorrectly:
It doesn't speak the menu items, just its state or its position within
the structure:

It is known behaviour for some menu items which are iconized. This can
also be seen for example in the "send to" submenu of a filelist context
menu in the windows explorer. It appears as if Microsoft are not
following their own accessibility guidelines. It has been reported as
fixed in windows vista.
Unfortunately as far as we are aware there is no way on how to
workaround this issue at NVDA's side.
This has been already discussed several times so for some more ideas you
might like to see NVDA archives: Here is a topic on this subject I was
able to find: http://www.freelists.org/archives/nvda/10-2008/msg00294.html
