not resolve the action control to role="option"; use an action-specific
supported role or suppress the role for that context while preserving other menu
roles. In packages/react-core/src/components/Menu/MenuItemAction.tsx lines
37-62, change the interactiveRole resolution around getMenuItemInteractiveRole.

120-135, add a listbox scenario with MenuItemAction and assert the action is not
exposed as an option.

I'm not entirely sure we should make this update to Menu. While I understand the confusion from the original chatbot issue regarding VoiceOver announcing "Press escape to close the menu" when the Escape key doesn't actually close any menu in the conversation history context (Escape does close the entire drawer in our demos, though that's a little different from closing the menu of convo items and can't recall if that's something a consumer would have to hookup themselves), that also seems to only be an announcement from VoiceOver. When testing with NVDA, I didn't get any announcement about pressing Escape to close, so that announcement/behavior may not be consistent depending which AT is being used. With the way the Menu component is setup for keyboard handling, and with how menus are typically setup, the arrow keys would be expected to navigate the chatbot convo history menus based on the fact that they get announced as menus. If we allow the Menu component to render as normal lists, that semantic context gets lost and it might not be apparent that the user needs to navigate the menus via arrow keys and might instead try Tabbing which would move them out of the menu entirely without realizing they just skipped over a bunch of stuff. So either way there might be some confusion; personally I think not allowing the Menu component to render as a plain list and a user hearing "Press Escape to close this menu" when Escape may not actually do so (only for some AT, though), is slightly better than hearing one role announced (list) but needing to use the keyboard navigation of another role (menu) without really knowing that (we could make sure our demos/examples suffix the word "menu" at the end of the accessible name, so "This month, menu" as the aria-label, but consumers would also need to make that sort of update, and even then it might be confusing to hear "menu" as the accessible name and "list" as the role afterwards). Maybe this is another reason for us to think about not using the Menu component in chatbot for this and instead essentially mocking out visually a "menu", but really just a list of buttons/actions that require Tab to navigate like our Navigation component does. W3C does seem to have the stance that a menu should always be something that gets opened, and a persistent menu (which is really what the chatbot convo history drawer contains) should be a menubar (like the horizontal bar a tthe top of apps like "File Edit View etc", which doesnt really fit the purpsoe of this component i chatbot). Which all that does make sense, even W3C seems to have verbiage indiciating that generally a menu is a popup or overlay rather than something that is always there on the page like a list of actions. But that would require ensuring we don't break existing implementations, using menu classes inside whatever chatbot component files, and possibly exposing such components to the consumer if they need to build out a more custom convo history drawer ("pin" button, additional actions, etc). Not that it's impossible, it just may not be as straight forward as swapping things out. |

That's fine; I was just trying to knock out backlog items while I had time. If the better solution is a full rework, I think that would ultimately let us knock more out. Let's talk about it with Nicole when she's back. (She had wanted Menu there originally so we could borrow features from it.) |
