    It's due to some issues I've reported.

    I confirm what you describe and I confirm you that the menu is
    horizontal.
    
    I see multiple issues here:
    1. Orca doesn't announce the list on the menu of bootstrap whereas
    the l shortcut jumps to the list
    2. Orca reads now vertically the menu. The main reason here is to
    let it announce when you come / leave the list. For that Orca needs
    to put the caret into the list.
    (Probably Orca could announce all the horizontal list at the same
    time, this will reduce for you the amount of arrow you've to do)
    
    Do you know how NVDA handles such case?
    
    Best regards.
