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

yeah seems to work ok, the thing I noticed with narrator though is it seemed to 
also speak the previous icons tooltip from time to time.  But I don't see much 
of an issue with moving the mouse pointer into the system tray because windows 
moves it there when you press the application key on an icon anyway while in 
the system tray.  In fact Jaws also does that same sort of thing.  Jaws also 
does not return the mouse pointer to it's original position either after 
accessing the system tray.

  It would have to be able to tell when the focus is on the sys tray class then 
when they tab away from the system tray the mouse pointer no longer follows it, 
 I will test the idea with narrator and see what happens with that.

    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.
