Bug Description

When in the Unity Launcher, right clicking or for Orca users right arrowing presents a context menu. The item is described as Firefox, Files, Thunderbird etc but Orca reads out the descriptoin enclosed in code ' <b>Firefox</b>. The expected result should be without the code, I do not know if this is also presented visually but Orca does read it.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.1.2+14.04.20140217-0ubuntu1

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * QuickListMenuItem: Add GetPlainTextLabel method to better present
    quicklist menu items to screen reader users. When Orca users
    navigate quicklists, they hear something like <b>item name</b>, due
    to the markup for the item being used as the accessible label. Use
    the ACCESSIBLE_DESC property of dbusmenu menu items to provide a
    plain text form of the label. (LP: #1266656)

  [ Sebastien Bacher ]
  * Restore archive change dropped by error, let g-s-d run in Unity
    sessions

  [ Niklas Steger ]
  * Add missing unity-scope-home dependency. (LP: #1233029)

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Fix some more AP tests: Redo the Hud query method to account for the
    fact that the Hud button we want may not be the first entry. Fix a
    show desktop test so we get the correct show desktop state after the
    test exits. Fix a Spread test to get the mouse to move to the
    Launcher icon that we want. .
