Re: [orca-list] button sub menus, what to call them?

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hey Kendell.

We'll go with "menu button" since that seems to be what they are called.
See, for instance,
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XUL/PopupGuide/MenuButtons.
I have committed this change to master, and master only. 3.21/3.22 is
already in string freeze and will remain so.

As for giving focus to the alert, Orca doesn't have difficulty; Orca is
deliberately not taking you out of the focused web page. And Firefox
doesn't put you in that alert. And I just tried with NVDA and focus
didn't go to the alert either.

As for your last item, I'm afraid I ran out of time before I got to the
end of your list. I'll look later.
