What is affected?

Component

Description

I was comparing the behaviour from chrome to safari so I think this is a bug. Essentially when you use a mouse and you click, it opens the menu and triggers the focus ring on safari. On chrome it only happens with the keyboard.

Reproduction

Click on the menu to open it.

Workaround

There is really no workaround.

Is this a regression?

No or unsure. This never worked, or I haven't tried before.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the md-menu behavior described in the issue on Safari and Chrome, using the supplied browser and OS versions. Trace the menu's focus behavior and compare mouse and keyboard activation; done means mouse opening matches Chrome without an unintended focus ring while keyboard focus remains visible.
