Description Duong Nguyen CLA 2008-02-22 15:22:03 EST 
The associated key binding (shortcut keys) for a command in a menu is not read when the menu item is hi-lighted. For example when you hi-light "File->New   Ctrl-Shift-N", Orca would only read "New". It should also read "Ctrl-Shift-N".

The underlined character (accelerator key) for a menu item is not read either but this appears to be consistent with other applications on Linux.

Still persists in version 3.6 of eclipse.
It is announced in applications like firefox, open office  and gedit.

I cannot reproduce this bug. Accelerator keys for menus are being read just fine.
