Hi @vieiro 
Thanks for adressing this!
Did this really read out the menu items in your test?  
Did you double-check the test is failing without the fix?
It did not work out in my setup on the first try, but I did not find time to look
into this further. I assumed it is related to my local JAWS setup.
