Chrome, Edge: <select required> is output as menu

[JAWS-test]

Summary

Read with the virtual cursor: <select required><option>1</select>

Expected result

Correct output of the role

Actual result

Before the role, "menu" is additionally output

Additional Information

The cause can also be found in the browser, since Chromium passes <option> incorrectly as menuitem to the API. However, the problem occurs in JAWS only with the virtual cursor and only when the form field is disabled or required. In this respect, JAWS can remedy this before Chromium fixes the bug

JAWS version and build number

JAWS 2020 JAWS 2021

Operating System and version

Windows 10

Browser and version:

current version of Edge and Chrome

[frex65]

Issue confirmed in both Chrome and Edge using JAWS 20, 21 and 22. Although this is not a JAWS bug per se, we will investigate how much work would be required to fix it before it is addressed in Chrome and Edge.
