Reported by khsruru on 2014-05-29 19:30
Hello, I’m Hyongsop Kim in Korea.
I have a question about aria menu item and pulldown menus.
In order to ask, I have to tell you two sample sites, number one is Microsoft Accessibility, number two is Freedom Scientific homepage.
In number one, there are some pulldown menus, such as products, demos and so on.
When I focus to these menus, if I can press space key, Nvda’s virtual cursor is turned off automatically and I can use arrow keys to navigate pulldown menus.
However, in number two’s pulldown menus, even if I press space key, there is no reaction, Nvda’s virtual cursor is not turned off.
So in order to navigate these pulldown menus, I have to press Nvda key and space, or press tab key in order to move focus to another link and come back with shift tab key and the virtual cursor is turned off..
Please check this issue and I think it is needed to fix the problem.
As a reference, I tested in Internet Explorer, version 11.
Thank you so much.

Confirmed.

Technical: This works as expected in Firefox. However, in IE, there is a text frame object beneath the menu item, so NVDA acts on that instead of the menu item. Somehow, we need to search ancestors in this case.
Changes:
Changed title from "aria menu item in browse mode." to "MSHTML browse mode: Activating ARIA menu items on freedomscientific.com doesn't switch to focus mode"
Milestone changed from None to next

I believe this now works as expected in IE 11. CC @jcsteh

@khsruru can you still reproduce it with NVDA 2018.4? If not, @ehollig I think the issue can be closed.

@ehollig according to your comment above you cannot reproduce it in IE11, in Firefox and Chrome it works properly as well. I suggest to close this issue and reopen it if someone reports it again. Thanks.
