            Bug ID: 216707
           Summary: AX: ARIA submenus announced as "button" not "submenu"
                    by VoiceOver
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 13
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: macOS 10.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: todd.kloots at gmail.com

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start VoiceOver
2. Go to the ARIA 1.1 menubar example https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/examples/menubar/menubar-1/menubar-1.html
3. Press tab to move focus to the "About" menu in the ARIA menubar
4. Notice VoiceOver announces the "About" menu as a "button"
5. Open the "About" menu
6. Press the down arrow to navigate to the "Facts" submenu
7. Notice VoiceOver announces the submenu as a "button"

What is the expected behavior?
Top-level menus in a menubar should be announced as "menu" - just as they are by VoiceOver when navigating the MacOS menubar. Submenus in a menu should be announced as "submenu" as they are by VoiceOver when navigating any MacOs menu with submenus.

What went wrong?
1. Top-level menus in a menubar are announced as "button"
2. Submenus in a menu are announced as "button"

This is a pretty important bug to fix as announcing a submenu as a "button" sets people up for failure since the interaction pattern for buttons is different than submenus.
