Mario, We would have to look at the specific code as there are so many variables. Here are some things to remember when using aria labeling techniques.. Aria-label overrides or takes precedence over other labels or span text used for labels. Aria-labelledby overrides or takes precedence over aria-label. So you may be seeing some of this behavior with your menus. Please send out a code snippet for review.

Both JAWS and NVDA do not announce the menu name when focussing on menu items. We have in our product, that we implement as a single-page web app at the same time up to 3 menus and it is very important for the user to know in which widget is the item he/she focuses on. Does somebody know what is the reason the screen readers ignore the menu names? Or is it undisputed a bug? Thanks.
