Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19041.264
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): latest 0.11 preview
NVDA: latest master snapshot alpha-20220,1c4519a6

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use the mouse to click on a tab at the top causing keyboard focus to move to the row of controls at the top. It is not possible to do this with a keyboard alone, but that would be a separate issue.

  2. Press right arrow until focus is on the new tab button.

    NVDA reads the following text for the new tab button: "New Tab split button collapsed Press the button to open a new terminal tab with your default profile. Open the flyout to select which profile you want to open."

Expected behavior

There should be some way of activating the flyout with a keyboard.

Actual behavior

Pressing space or enter on the new tab button causes a new tab to be open.

Surprisingly, pressing the down arrow key causes focus to move back to the last opened tab. Pressing applications doesn't work either.
