Hello @SAP/ui5-webcomponents-topic-rl,
Could you please check the issue? Items text is not announced with JAWS 2022.

Accessibility expert analysis:
The issue is reproducible in the playground samples as well.
Currently we use the invisible messaging to announce the selected item. We call the announceSelectedItem in the combobox. For some reason (I think that this lead to double announcement) we do not include the item text nor the subtext in the announcement, which is incorrect. IMO we should include them as well, but we should test carefully before submitting anything. Some related PR:

Hello @Bilal3120,
The issue about not announcing the additional text of an item is fixed with the following change: https://github.com/SAP/ui5-webcomponents/pull/5943 On the other hand, the issue about not always announcing the value of the combobox is a known screen reader issue and we do not have influence over it. Here is an isolated example with native HTML elements where the issue is also reproducible: https://jsbin.com/buzakereye/edit?html,output.
Kind Regards, Niya
