scroll a few times with the arrow below to focus on a menu item as an example:
new tab
now try reading character by character with nvda + ctrl + right and left arrows, or try reading line by line with nvda + up or down arrow
Actual behavior:

I copied below as I understood that the model asks for the speech viewer snippet from when I pressed alt, down arrow to a menu item and when I tried the commands
nvda + up and down arrow, and nvda + ctrl + right and left arrow.

Expected behavior:
i would like it to be possible to read the name of the option in focus i.e. read the name of the entire line when pressing nvda + arrow like this or below,
pressing nvda + right arrow or nvda + left arrow will be able to spell the current item in focus, as well as pressing
nvda + ctrl + left or right arrow read the menu item in focus word by word.

nvda + right and left arrow it was possible to read the focused item character by character.
