Currently, when a menu item is hovered over, it will automatically open the sub-menu and also focus the first item within the sub-menu.
When VoiceOver is enabled, the focus will then fire another hover event, and then the next sub-menu will open and so on. This prevents the user from being to hover over any other menu item.
Even without VoiceOver enabled, it is a bit confusing to the user that just hovering over each menu item will then shift focus to items in the sub-menu. Opening the menu makes sense, but the force of focus for hover is less usable.
