Bug Description

right now if you use orca the menus only speak the shortcuts, not the actual label of the menu item. This means the thing is completely broken if you can't tell what the menu items do. Indicators are similarly broken.

I installed now all updates my Precise system.
Indicators menu items again working, but if have a mnemonic letter of a menu item, Orca spokening underscore and the mnemonic letter.
I see this issue with GNOME3 fallback session with indicator-applet-complete.
Other Orca users reported following issues in Orca list:
"Hi Krishnakant,

It appears that with the latest update this morning menues are mostly
 working.

I am now getting spoken feedback for all menus.

I have noticed a few oddities and am not sure if it is my system or
something ubuntu or orca related. Hopefully someone else can confirm
this and then I can file appropriate bugs.

1. Menus are spoken with what appears to be "underscore" where spaces
should be. Note that this doesn't always happen as expected, for
example, in the firefox edit menu, I hear "underscore find"
"pref underscore erences" "find underscore again".
Perhaps this is underscores being sent where spaces should be, although
the apparent random insertion of one in the middle of preferences is
strange. Also the one preceding find."
