NVDA cannot interact with the comment field in Excel, making also the navigation with arrows stop working for a while when pressing escape to leave the comment field.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an empty excel document,
2. Type whatever into the active cell, E.G. NVDA,
3. press Shift+F2 to add a comment. Note that NVDA gets silent announcing nothing,
4. try to type in a comment, for example screen reader. Try to move by character or whatever else, NVDA is silent again,
5. press escape to leave the comment field and try to navigate through cells with arrows. Here NVDA eventually starts speaking but only after quite a while. I sometimes had to alt+tab twice to leave Excel and return again to make it start working. Looks as if it had lost the focus.

See attached log for the errors.
I'm using Excel 2010 Slovak
