Click events getting lost when pressing Space keyboard continuously to toolStripButton

See original GitHub issue

.NET version

.Net 8.0 SDK build: 8.0.100-preview.6.23280.8

Did it work in .NET Framework?

Did it work in any of the earlier releases of .NET Core or .NET 5+?

Issue description

After the PR: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pull/9115, the control type for checkable/checked toolStripButton is changed from Button to CheckBox, so Narrator should announce the check/uncheck state when using keyboard or mouse to change state, the PR is: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pull/9142.

The problem is Screen readers: Narrator/JAWS/NVDA cannot announce the check/uncheck state continuously when pressing Space keyboard continuously to checkable/checked toolStripButton. Cannot reproduce it for standalone checkBox control using keyboard. Issue1_CheckStateChange

This issue doesn’t repro when using mouse to change check/uncheck state of toolStripButton continuously

Steps to reproduce

Create a Winforms .Net application with ToolStrip,
Add a ToolStripButton, set its CheckOnClick propterty to True
Build and run
Launch Narrator, use keyboard to focus on this ToolStripButton
Press Space keyboard continuously to checkable/checked toolStripButton
