Screen reader keyboard trap

DB David Best Public Seen by 6

I am unable to edit a group settings.
1. At the top of the Main region, just under the Breadcrumb, is the Options Button Menu.
2. Press Spacebar on the Options Button Menu to open the list of options.
3. Press Down Arrow key to the Edit Group Settings Menu option.
4. Press Spacebar or Enter key to activate the Edit option.
5. The JAWS screen reader says "Context menu, to navigate use Up and Down arrow keys", but the keyboard becomes unusable. Up and Down Arrow keys do nothing, and the Tab key moves to the next page element. It appears the user is locked into the Application mode. The Escape key does not close the Menu, and there is no way to get to the Group Edit functions. The WCAG2 refers to this as a keyboard trap.
Please advise.

Hi David, apologies for the delayed response - I'll take a look today

I'm afraid I was unable to reproduce this behaviour, perhaps we could go through this process at our next meeting?
