[NFBCS] Flyout or expanded Menus

Tue Feb 23 15:28:58 UTC 2021

Thanks for all the tips.
I was able to access what I wanted this morning, using Jaws and Firefox.  I
used space to expand the menu, then tab to find the section I wanted.
I was not able to get to the links I wanted by arrowing down; tab was the
only way.

I wasn't able to find the menu you're talking about, but after hitting enter
did you try alt+down-arrow to expand and navigate the list without
activating the items as you land on them?
