I had the same notion. When trying it out though, I discovered that the
window itself was a custom class, as well as the toolbar window. Neither one
used MSAA, and each submenu opened within a new window handle, so JAWS
couldn't detect any connection between the two during navigation, nor could
it detect the cursor movement when selecting menu options using up and down.
It was quite a pain to figure out a work around. The most reliable method
was to make the menus a one way trip, since there are levels that reach 2 or
3 levels deep at times. Plus the menus change when you add plugins to
increase functionality. It's a weird app. It's frustrating when most of the
applications used for producing standards compliant code are designed with
completely inaccessible components like this one.
