Using Arrow Keys to Move Between Tabs Causes Narrator to Read the Menus Twice (283406)

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Narrator utility, certain menus may be read twice. Specifically, this happens if you use the arrow keys to move between tabs in a dialog box and to move to menu items.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because of how Narrator is designed. On the General tab, Narrator reads menu information only once. However, if you use the arrow keys to move to the other tabs, each move of an arrow key generates two events, and Narrator reads the affected menus twice.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
