One final thing to check, on Chrome, if you have a title attribute, it will
be appended to the accessible name (Firefox doesn't do that) even though
technically if an accessible name property is found before the title
attribute, then the title should be ignored.

See step 2i - https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-1.1/#step2

So if you have something like

<div role="menu" aria-haspopup="true" title="menu">menu</div>

then you'll probably hear "menu" repeated several times.
