Description James Nurthen 2014-07-17 20:05:35 UTC 
The following isn't practical with JAWS

Down Arrow 
- With focus on the button and no drop-down menu displayed, pressing Down Arrow will open the drop-down menu and move focus into the menu and onto the first menu item. 
- With focus on the button and the drop-down menu open, pressing Down Arrow will move focus into the menu onto the first menu item.

When the focus is on the button JAWS never switches into widget mode so down arrow does not get passed through to the application and instead gets consumed by JAWS. I suggest the following changes

* Drop the Down Arrow section quoted above
* Change
Space or Enter - With focus on the button pressing Space or Enter will toggle the display of the drop-down menu. Focus remains on the button.
to
Space or Enter - With focus on the button pressing Space or Enter will toggle the display of the drop-down menu. Focus moves to the first menu item.

Further change to the space or Enter text due to it no longer being a toggle in this case....

Space or Enter - With focus on the button pressing Space or Enter will open the drop-down menu. Focus moves to the first menu item of the menu.
