I cannot understand the error description. When I activate the button with JAWS 2023 and JAWS 2024, a menu opens and the focus is set to the menu. This is why JAWS first outputs the menu (with its labelling) and then the menu entry. If I navigate through the menu entries with the arrow keys, only the menu entry is output. The output seems to me to be correct

I do the following:

  1. focus the "Setting" button
  2. press arrow down to open the menu and focus the "Account settings" item
  3. press arrow down again to focus the "Show third party content" item

For this I get the following transcription:

Settings button menu collapsed Settings button menu Press space to activate the menu, then navigate with arrow keys Settings menu Account settings menu 1 of 8 To move through items press up or down arrow. Show third party content menu checked 3 of 8

Notice how it announces "Account settings menu" instead of "Account settings" and "Show third party content menu checked" instead of "Show third party content checked". I don't seem to remember having the same issue on JAWS2023 (although it's been some time since I last tried it) and NVDA doesn't announce menu items as menus either.

I do not use English as the output language of JAWS. This may explain the differences
