Hello.
This message refers to last release of both NVDA and TB.
When you try to find a message using the edit field reachable by pressing ctrl+k, you'll find an HTML pages with all the occours of your research.
There are links with submenu that should provide list of messages divided for accounts or folders.
Pressing enter on them, by the way, causes NVDA saying "Section", "Sezione" in italian an no further actions are possible.
Gabriel.

Almost certainly needs to be fixed in Thunderbird.

Any Thunderbird user can confirm this, or confirm whether it is fixed?

Still happens...
It seems that pressing spacebar does nothing...

@ruifontes could you please test once more with Thunderbird 68.3.0 and NVDA last alpha?
I think I cannot reproduce it.

This is still reproducible in Thunderbird 115.1.0 with NVDA 2023.2 Beta 3.

cc: @emitche this needs an external fix, if possible. it seems when you press enter on a result after searching a message, two entries are added near to the filter area: "in inbox", "without inbox". These can only be accessed by NVDA via object navigation but not with arrow keys or tab keys. These need a tabindex or a role="application" or something like that.

Summary of the issue:
When the user finds text on Thunderbird by pressing CONTROL+K, searching the text and activating one of the links, NVDA speaks only "section".

Description of user facing changes
NVDA will speak the popup menu item name correctly.

Description of developer facing changes
None.

Description of development approach
Added a check if the object 's name is empty, and is of the "div" tag and has a class of "popup-menuitem", NVDA replaces its name with the name of its child.

Testing strategy:
Performed a manual test with Thunderbird.

I created pull request #17130 to perform some tests, but I'm unsure, because the code I created is a big workaround to fix the bug, but it seems to work on Thunderbird 128.2.0. I will perform some tests on older versions to see if it works the same way.
