Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012304 Minefield/3.0b3pre

The role of the dropdown buttons is "button" and the state contains focused, focusable, has popup. This is the same information that is reported in FF 2.0.0.11.  However, I expected the role to be menu button in Minefield. Also, in FF 2, JAWS 9 reports "press space bar to activate" when a button receives focus - this does not always occur with Minefield. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/dojo-2008-01-23/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/form/test_Button.html
2.start JAWS and set it to virtual PC cursor mode off (insert-z toggles)
3.tab to edit button and press space
4. menu opens and focus should be on the first item (cut)



Writing this up because I believe the role should be menu button since the button is created with a role of button and a property of haspopup=true.
