Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to https://primereact.org/menubar/#basic
2. Click on a menu item with dropdown, say 'Projects'
3. Try to navigate using arrow keys, either UP arrow key or Down arrow key.
4. The focus is not pointing to the items in sub menu and navigation is not working.

I checked PrimeNg and PrimeVue and this navigation is working perfectly there but not in PrimeReact.

Expected behavior

The focus should point to the items in sub menu and user should be able to navigate using arrow keys.

This is a recording from PrimeNg where this behaviour works correctly -
