I was doing some translations with Poedit today and I wanted to read the translators note for the current string. I pressed Control+Shift+A, but NVDA reported that it can't find the "Notes for translators" window. After some tests, I've found out that if the notification bar of Poedit is visible on the screen, NVDA couldn't find the "Notes for translators" window. If the notification bar of Poedit is not visible, NVDA will find and read the translators notes. The notification bar in Poedit is located above the list of translation strings and below the buttons toolbar. The notification bar doesn't appear always - only when there is an alert from Poedit (e.g. when the translation's project name isn't set). Some of the .po files for some NVDA add-ons have this problem and the issue can be reproduced with them (specially some .po files for description of add-ons for the site).

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Open a .po file in Poedit, witch has some problems (e.g. with no name for the project in the translation).
2. Press Control+Shift+A.

Actual results:
If the notification bar of Poedit is shown, NVDA reports that it can't find the "Notes for translators" window, even though it is visible on the screen.

Expected results:
NVDA should be able to find and read the "Notes for translators" window, no matter if the notification bar is shown or not.

Test environment:

• Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in bulgarian.
• Poedit version: 1.6.7, in english.
• NVDA versions: next-10966,a238c81 installed; 2014.2 portable.
