I've noticed today, that some submenus in the "Start" menu on Windows 7 don't read with the latest "next-10304,4e28381" snapshot. Such submenus are the ones witch are for items in the right-side column of the "Start" menu (eg. "Documents", "Control Panel", "Games", etc. Those submenus read fine with NVDA 2013.3.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. If you don't have any items with submenus in the right-side of the "Start" menu, do the following to show at least 1 of them:
  • Go to the "Start" button in the taskbar (but don't open the "Start" menu).
  • Press Alt+Enter to open the "Taskbar and Start menu Properties" dialog.
  • Press Control+TAB to go to the "Start menu" tab page.
  • Activate the "Personalize" button on that page.
  • In the new dialog that opens, focus on the tree-view.
  • In that tree-view, select any of the following: "Documents", "Games", "Control Panel", etc. and from the 3 options below it, select with the arrow keys and then the spacebar the one that states "Show as menu".
  • Then press OK on all dialogs, to save the changes.
  • Open the "Start" menu.
  • Now you should have in the right-side of it, the menu item that you choose to have show as a menu in there. And it will have a submenu, containing some items.
  • Press right arrow to open the submenu.
  • Press up and down arrows to navigate through items in that submenu.
    Expected results: NVDA should read those menu items.
    Actual results: NVDA does not read those menu items, even though the focus is on them (I can see the system focus highlight).
