Accessibility : Screen reader does not read the list of options on the Jira Service Desk Portal

      Problem:
      At the Service Desk Portal, the list of options from dropdown fields like Components, Priority, Impact, Select list (single value), Select list (multiple choices) is not accessible with a screen reader.

      The environment used for the test:
      Mac Osx default screen reader
      Firefox 76.0.1

      Steps to Reproduce:

      • Create a default IT Service Desk Project area;
      • Open a Firefox browser and reach the portal;
      • Select <Report a system Problem>;
      • Hit <tab> to reach any of the fields "Select a System", "How urgent is this" or "What's the impact".
      • Hit <arrow down> to access the list of options.

      Expected behavior:

      • Screen Reader identifies that this is a selection field and say "Start typing to get a list of possible matches or press down to select." or "Text list, x items";
      • Arrow down/up should read each option;
      • Enter should select an entry and the reader should say the option selected.

      Observed results:

      • The screen reader does not read any option while navigating with arrow down/up;
      • Start typing does not help, the Screen Reader does not read the available options;
      • There is no mention when a value is selected. The user may select an incorrect value by accident.

       

      Business impact

      • Users with visual disabilities can not use the Service Desk Portal
