I've noticed it for some time, but now it was reported to me from other Skype users. While tabbing in Skype's main window (in multi-window mode), for some of the objects on witch the system focus lands, NVDA stays silent or on demand reports the previously focused object. There are 2 main examples for such behavior:

1. With no calls active, the 1 "silent" focusable object is next after the "All Contacts" drop-down menu (essentially - the "Contacts" list), when pressing TAB. For it, even Narrator doesn't say anything.
2. During a call (it could be even a test call to "echo123"), the 1 "silent" object is right after the "All Contacts" drop-down menu (essentially - the "Contacts" list), and right before the "My Profile Picture" button. For this object however, Narrator reports that it is a button with our full name from our Skype Profile, and it opens the window with our profile. NVDA doesn't report anything for it and pressing space doesn't activate any button, like it does with Narrator.

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Switch Skype to multi-window mode, so the main window contains only the "Contacts" list and a few more objects.
2. Start pressing TAB in the Skype's main window. You'll eventually land on an object after the "Contacts" list, for witch NVDA stays silent.
3. Initiate a call. It may even be a simple test call to "echo123".
4. Move the focus back to Skype's main window, by pressing Alt+1 (this focuses the "Contacts" list).
5. Press TAB 1 or more times. After the "Contacts" list and before the "My Profile Picture" button, you'll land on an object, for witch NVDA stays silent.

Expected results:
NVDA should speak at least the object in the 2nd example, because it can be recognized correctly even by Narrator. The 1st one is not recognized even by Narrator, so maybe for it there is nothing that can be done by NVDA.

Actual results:
NVDA stays silent for the problematic focused objects in both examples/cases.

Test environment:

• Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
• NVDA version: next-11921,33534ca; 2015.1.
• Skype version: 7.4.0.102.
