Can't get to network admin with keyboard

[Cheffheid]

I'm using a multisite install and so have "My Sites" in my toolbar.

When I'm browsing the admin section with my keyboard, I can expand the "My Sites" menu with Enter. However, when I then select either "Network Admin" or any of my sites and hit Enter again the submenu closes and nothing happens.

Funnily enough: When I then hover over "My Sites" with my mouse, the "Network Admin" submenu does appear right away. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case when I try to tab back into the "My Sites" submenu.

Occurs in Chrome 36 and Firefox 31. Appears on IE11 as well.

Tested, and reproducable, in 3.9.2 and trunk.

This seems to fix it.

@Cheffheid: Thanks for the patch. When creating patches do it from the root directory of WordPress (the place where files like wp-config.php reside).

Tested 29422.patch and found the following bug:

Opening a submenu doesn't close the previously opened ones.

Another bug exists in the core (not related to this patch):

If an admin bar menu is opened using keyboard shortcuts it doesn't close itself when the focus goes to the admin menu.

Will do, thanks! The guide to creating patches with TortoiseSVN wasn't very clear about that, will keep it in mind.

Noticed the admin side menu works slightly different from the toolbar. That is to say, the side menu seems to automatically open the submenus when tabbing through. Maybe keep it consistent and have the admin toolbar work that way too (or vice versa)?

Added a new one.

Turns out I was overcomplicating things a little. wrap selector wasn't right, fixing that helped but then the toggling stopped working. Probably because it would remove and then add the hover state in one go. Resulting in the submenu staying open when hitting enter repeatedly on a menu item like "Network Admin".

This patch will also make sure if it should toggle the hover class after removing it or not. If that makes sense :).

29422.2.patch is doing the trick for me.
