Description
This encompasses both menu bars and popup/context menus. These implement keyboard focus and selection much like list boxes. But menus have their own quirky events, and we'll need to make sure our implementation of these events works correctly with all of the Windows screen readers.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing UIA support for list boxes and compare its keyboard focus, selection, and event handling with the requirements for menu bars and popup/context menus. Verify behavior with Windows screen readers, including the menus’ distinct events. Done means both menu types expose correct focus, selection, and events.
