When opening Audacity, Focus gets to the track list which is correct.
Then, if you press alt key, you'll get to the File menu and NVDA gets there normally.
Then, if you press alt or espace to get back to the track list, NVDA is not aware of focus change and don't return to track list.
This doesn't happen with other screen readers

When I get a chance, I can probably fix this one-. It doesn't seem that hard as I did this in an appModule a few years ago for audacity.

This is due to a bug in Audacity. It doesn't implement IAccessible::accFocus correctly on the track view, so NVDA can't query for the focused object, which it needs to do after leaving a menu. Some other screen readers have a menu mode instead and remember the focus before entering menus, but this can be unreliable and can result in getting stuck in menus.

There should be a way to work around this in an app module, but it'd be better to get it fixed in Audacity.

Replying to jteh:

This is due to a bug in Audacity. It doesn't implement IAccessible::accFocus correctly on the track view.

I've submitted a patch to Audacity to fix the problem with IAccessible::accFocus.
