[nvda] Re: Odd behavior of NVDA in some menus

Hello,

It is fine in Skype now.  Haven't tried Avast again yet.

Portia.

PS.  Downloading the latest snapshots helped.

Hi,
Just thought I'd add to this. When I'm in a menu in Skype or Avast, Nvda will just say, 1 of 12. 3 of 12. 4 of 12. 

It never says the name of the item.

Hi,
in some menus NVDA behaves incorrectly:
It doesn't speak the menu items, just its state or its position within the structure: For example: "unavailable" "x of y", where "x" is the actual position of the item, and "y" is the number of items at all. However I don't hear the title of the item, so it's impossible to navigate. 
It happens in Cute-FTP and in the menu of the Avira virus scanner.
It may happen in other programs, but this is what I've figured out.
Is this known? What to do to work around it?
Hermann
