Hi,

The following issue affects Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and later but is most prominent in October 2018 Update and later. This is another one of those that requires Windows 10 App Essentials add-on:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open emoji panel (Windows+period).
2. Search for emojis by typing part of its name.

Actual behavior:

Only search result count is announced, or in Fall Creators Update and April 2018 Update, the first result count is announced.

Expected behavior:

Emoji is announced.

System configuration

NVDA installed/portable/running from source:

Installed

NVDA version:

Alpha.16477

Windows version:

Windows 10 Version 1809 (build 17763)

Name and version of other software in use when reproducing the issue:

None

Other information about your system:

None

Other questions

Does the issue still occur after restarting your PC?

Yes

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA?

Yes - 2018.3, 2018.4

Solution:

In October 2018 Update and later, name change event is fired while emoji search is in progress, with the progress message having a unique automation ID. Thus catch this and announce the top emoji if possible.

Thanks.
