Kevin, you're right, sort of; that is, reading the line with the mouse says nothing, but if you go down a line it read the menu item below the one highlighted, and going back up a line reads the menu item you highlighted. it's like the move to focus feature puts the mouse pointer between those two lines or something; it's just a little bit off.

For example, if you are in IE and you go to the File menu, press the down arrow, which will highlight "new tab", then press insert-numpad minus, and then press numpad 5 to read the line containineg the mouse, you here nothing.
