Actual Results
In the Display options section for the "Columns to display" dropdown input field when the screen reader tries to interact with the Combobox, it is announced as "Edit" text. Additionally, the screen reader does not announce the current value of Combobox, drop-down item names, or placeholder texts. This instance will create confusion for the assistive technology user and they would not be able to use the filter element effectively.
Expected Results
Few of the following labels and roles could be added to the following elements :
- A role="combobox" could be added to the <input> element.
- The dropdown menu should announce the label it is associated with.
- For this case, when the users focus to enter the Dropdown menu, it should announce content such as "Select Columns to display". This will help the assistive technology user to understand the relation between the label and the dropdown menu.
- A working example for accessible Autocomplete Combobox could be found at: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/examples/combobox/combobox-autocomplete-list.html
Workaround
Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available
