Hey Jason. I'm not able to reproduce this. That said, when you're interacting with an apps UI (e.g. navigating in menus), Orca is simply presenting the new location based on the events it receives. So I don't think it's an Orca issue.
BTW, are you using Wayland and gnome-shell? If so, it sounds like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3267. Although that was fixed four months ago. --joanie On Tue, 2024-06-11 at 06:24 -0400, Jason J.G.
