Bit of an aside ...
Point of clarification: Doesn't the menu event table describe events
that fire when the author's scripts change the state of a menu (for the
MSAA and UIA columns). That is, the sequence is: the user makes some
gesture, then the script causes some menu behaviour to occur, and then
the browser fires the corresponding event. Here's a concrete example:
the user is somewhere within a menu and hits ESC, then the script
dismisses the menu, and then the browser emits a "popup end" event.
That is, it's not that the menu *receives* these menu event, but that
its behaviour results in the *sending* of a menu event that represents
the menu's state change.
Is that right?
