SAP SuccessFactors Presentations

1. Log into SuccessFactors with a screen reader
2. In the upper left corner, select the hamburger icon > Presentations
3. Select the My Presentations tab
4. Select a tab with a presentation
5. Tab to the presentation
6. Select the 3 dots (Open the Presentation Options)
7. The roles are not announced for each option

Expected behavior.

The Presentation Options menu (Edit Title, Copy, Move To, Delete) is rendered by the shared SFDropMenu / SFDropMenuPopup widget as a standard ARIA menu: the container is <ul role="menu"> and each option is an <a role="menuitem"> carrying aria-setsize and aria-posinset. This was confirmed by inspecting the live DOM and roles are therefore programmatically present on every menu item. 

The ARIA Authoring Practices Guide (APG) - Actions Menu Button Example Using aria-activedescendant specifies a menuitem must have a role and an accessible name calculated from its text content; it doesn't require assistive technology to vocalize the role. Screen readers deliberately suppress repeating the role inside composite widgets to reduce verbosity, and the menu context and each item's label with position confirms the menu and its items are correctly recognized by screen readers.
