<pre>By default mouseover events expose a more descriptive tooltip, or an extended
tooltip--when offline local help is installed and has an article pointing at
the button.
And with Assistive Technology (AT) support enabled, on mouseover of a button
control the descriptive tooltip is sounded by AT instead of the button label.
When keyboard navigation is used: e.g. F10, F6, TAB/ShiftTab, or cursor
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT--the AT sounds *only* the abbreviated button label. Same
for menu label, and context menu label which also sound just the short label.
If possible, for better accessibility support, keyboard navigation should offer
the same audible/visual rendering of the more descriptive tooltip(s) provided
with mouseover event of buttons.
A rework of label structure for menus, context menus and toolbar button labels
is being looked at for <a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - Label changes for Toolbar use degrade function listing in the Customize dialog--have duplicate entries on the list"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=108458">bug 108458</a>. Perhaps in conjunction with that, some
structural change to facilitate use of tooltip/extended tooltips with keyboard
navigation might be implemented.</pre>
