[nvda] Re: Reason for focus issue in the system tray

I assume you are talking about where arrowing to an icon, it gets spoken, or 
tries to, and then suddenly focus gets stolen by another one?

I just tried what you said and you ar correct. That is very odd in deed.

I'm not entirely sure whether I'm happy moving the mouse pointer around at will 
of NVDA, but it does seem to solve the issue.

What I might be able to do is make the mouse pointer follow the focus, so that 
when you arrow to another icon, the mouse pointer follows at the same time. 
This will then stop the focus moving to the other one, in theory.

Its either that or move it right off the system tray.

  I think I may have found a possible cause for the weird focus issue when 
accessing the system tray.  When you tab to the system tray, and hit the 
applications key to bring up the context menu for whatever item Windows moves 
the mouse pointer to that icon and right clicks it that way.  What happens is 
most all screen readers including Jaws receive incorrect information when 
accessing the system tray because they are trying to interpret the mouse 
pointer focus and the system focus too.  If there were a way to move the mouse 
pointer off of the system tray after each icon access it may solve the focus 
issue in the system tray.
