Navigation Menubar Example: When focus is in 2nd level submenu, Escape is closing both submenus instead of focusing on parent in first level submenu.

"Escape: Close the menu that contains focus and return focus to the element or context, e.g., menu button or parent menuitem, from which the menu was opened."

Technically, if in a submenu then the element that opened that submenu would be the menuitem one level up. The example in the APG shows that Escape closes the entire menu, instead of just the current submenu though. Could this be made clearer in the APG of what to do in the case of currently being in a submenu?

That sounds like a bug in the example. Which example is closing more than one level of menu?

If you open the first menubar example and navigate to the Admissions > Tuition submenu and hit escape, focus should be applied to "Tuition" but instead is applied to "Admissions"
