Hi,

I meant to bring this up a few years ago but couldn't determine the problem...

In some cases, when pressing Windows+M or Windows+D to go to Desktop, NVDA says, "pane". Turns out a focus event is fired by a window with the class name of "WorkerW".

As for fixing this, all the building blocks are present (thankfully, app module for explorer.exe contains gainFocus event handler).

Thanks.

…windows or moving to desktop. re nvaccess#6671

Somehow, when pressing Windows=M or Windows+D, NVDA says, 'pane'. It turns out there is a window with the window class name of 'WorkerW' that presents a focus event. Thus suppress this, which means NVDA will no longer announce 'pane' when minimizing Windows. This bug affects various versions of Windows (tested with Windows 7 and Windows 10).
