NVDA does not remove "Expanded" state when there are no shortcuts available to an option in the Input gesture settings!

[gauravahir28]

Steps to reproduce:

• Open Input gesture
• open any category such as "Brows mode.
• expand any available subcategory such as "Activates the current object in the document"
• Delete all the assigned keyboard shortcuts of expanded subcategory.
• observe the announcement of subcategory

Actual behavior:

NVDA says "Activates the current object in the document expanded " even when there are no keyboard shortcuts available!

Expected behavior:

NVDA should not convey the expanded state since the keyboard shortcuts are not available anymore!

Using Narrator and Windows Explorer:

• Create a new folder named "Folder1"
• In Folder1, create a new subfolder named Folder2
• Go to the folder tree on the left (e.g. with F6 or shift+F6 until you reach the tree view) and select Folder1
• Press rightArrow to expand Folder1
• Press F6 to go to the folder's content and delete Folder2
• Press shift+f6 to move back the focus to the tree view

Result: Folder1 is still reported as expanded, whereas it is now empty.

I cannot say if the same bug impacts all tree views or if these are two bugs with a distinct cause but leading to a similar result.

This likely needs to be fixed in Windows
