- Navigate to "Network" link and activate it.
- Inspect the "username" element present in main content area and observe that the element is missing role/attributes.
Actual Behaviour
The element "User name" functions like a combo-box but is missing required ARIA roles and attributes due to which screen reader users not able to interact with it effectively.
Expected Behaviour
The element "User name" should be coded with role="combobox" appropriately with attributes such as aria-haspopup="listbox", role="option" provided for combo-box items etc.
