Steps to Reproduce
- Open the myColorado support request form on Android devices.

- Select and assign a switch.
- Navigate the app using switch input controls.
- Note that Switch Access skips the "What can we help you with?" combobox.
Screen Recording

Actual Results
When navigating using Switch Access on Android devices, the focus skipped the "What can we help you with?" combobox, and moved to the subsequent interactive element
This prevented Switch Access users from selecting or interacting with the functionality associated with mentioned combobox.
Expected Results
All interactive elements must be accessible using Switch Access. In this case, the combobox must allow users to focus, open, and select options with switch input controls.
Apply the following changes - >
- Ensure that combobox is included in the Accessibility node tree for Switch Access.
- Use native <select> elements when possible to leverage built-in accessibility.
- For custom comboboxes, apply the role="combobox" attribute with required ARIA properties for proper semantics.
- Ensure focusable elements are not visually or programmatically hidden from Switch Access.
- Use tools like the Android Accessibility Scanner or Chrome Accessibility panel to confirm the combobox is present and focusable in the accessibility node tree.
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
