On gain/lost focus, and on menu bar, I have the following error:
error executing event: gainFocus on <NVDAObjects.IAccessible.ContentGenericClient object at 0x0B34F150> with extra args of {}
Traceback (most recent call last):

I also have this error with Alt+Tab.

In Skype for Desktop 7.2 and later, typing notifications are now reported and problems immediately after moving focus out of a conversation have been fixed.

Skype 7.2 changed the typing notification control. Aside from the obvious, this also caused an exception whenever a conversation lost focus.
Also, since Skype seem intent on changing things every couple of versions, if the output list and/or typing indicator can't be found, log a warning and try to handle this more gracefully.
Fixes #4972.

Changes:
Removed labels: incubating
State: closed
