376640 - No nsIAccessibleEvent::EVENT_FOCUS for menu item in menubar when Alt or F10 is pressed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

When the menu bar is focused with the Alt or F10 key, no focus event is fired for the menu item. This is a regression from bug 341462, which simply checks to see if the submenu for a menu item is opened. IF not, it does not fire the focus event. We need a better fix for that bug, which checks to see if the menu item is just hovered or is capturing keypress events.

Surkov, you might want to look too, since you're working in this area of the code.
