Description

The menu button does not behave as you would expect when using it with the keyboard. Pressing enter when on the button shows the menu but nothing is highlighted. Once the menu is showing the down arrow does not do anything but the up arrow will allow you to cycle through the options in the menu.

Check in with the designers for how the button should behave with the keyboard.

    See http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Floe+video+player+interactions for kb interaction details

    So to summarize the specifics for the menu button (from the wiki page):

    • On focus, CC/Transcript menu does not appear automatically
    • enter/space on button opens/closes CC/Transcript menu
    • up/down arrows cycles through menu elements + button
    • enter/space on menu item activates the element and closes the menu; if the element is already active, keep element active and close the menu
    • right/left arrows do nothing
    • esc closes menu if open

    The keyboard interactions for the captions and transcripts menus now behave as described on James' wiki page. Michelle, if you concur, please close this issue.
