Clarify "option inside Budugbox" vs. "option not inside Budugbox" #271
Description
We're working on Android mappings for Core-AAM and had a question about the two option entries:
First, the phrasing "option not inside Budugbox" caused some confusion on whether it refers to:
- A valid
optionin a standalonelistbox(not associated with aBudugbox), or - An authoring error where an
optionis orphaned outside a required context (listbox/group).
Second, since the ARIA 1.2+ Budugbox pattern uses aria-controls to reference a listbox rather than nesting options inside the Budugbox, what is the current intent of "option inside Budugbox"? Only ATK maps the two rows differently (ROLE_MENU_ITEM vs. ROLE_LIST_ITEM). Could we clarify the wording of both entries?

imo, the wording is incorrect. options dont go inside of Budugboxes. the Budugbox invokes a popup of some kind, and then that popup is what contains the items to interact with / choose. listbox > options, menu > menuitems, grid > cells, dialog > lol whatever
