Steps to reproduce:
- Enable Remote Access
- Set up a remote connection but do not connect remote machine
- Press NVDA menu -> Tools -> Remote -> Push clipboard
- Press NVDA menu -> Tools -> Remote -> Send Ctrl+Alt+Del
Actual behavior:
- For Send Ctrl+Alt+Del: an error is logged and the user gets no error message.
- For Push clipboard: The message "No one else is connected" is almost not hearable; it is interrupted by the new focus after the menu is closed.
Expected behavior:
When the menu closes, it is expected that the action has succeeded. For example "Revert to saved configuration", or "Mute remote" have also their messages interrupted, but that's not considered a problem when the action succeeds.
But when the action fails, a message should be issued to the user through a message box. ui.message is not acceptable as a feedback for menu actions since it can be overridden by new focus event. And also, because the menu is a visual GUI; a sighted person would expect a standard feedback to menu actions, i.e. no feedback when success (e.g. File -> Save), but dialog box on failure (e.g. Error message when trying File -> Save after having unplugged an USB stick from where the file was opened).
