Re: opening an expandable menu while using voiceover

Thanks, everyone. Here are some more details:


- VO on Mac, ios has a new set of issues that we are DEFINITELY going to
fix.
- CTRL+opt+space
- The action doesn't redraw the page per se, but it's a web page left
navigation, so expanding the menu gives you more links you otherwise won't
know about.
- Example (pages 3 and 4 have submenus in this example):


[menu collapsed]
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3 +
Page 4
Page 5 +

[submenu opened for page 3]
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3 -
Page 3a
Page 3b
Page 3c
Page 4
Page 5 +

Using VO, when you reach the page 3 submenu, you can expand it with the
return/enter key. Voiceover will open the submenu and the next item read is
Page 3a. and so forth.

If you expand using CTRL+opt+space, the submenu expands, but the next item
read is Page 4. I think this is a problem.
