Positions of items in HTML dropdowns are not read

Open MRayermannMSFT opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a dropdown in HTML by using <select>, example:
<body>
  <select role="combobox">
      <option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
      <option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
      <option value="Option 3">Option 3</option>
    </select>
</body>
  1. Focus the dropdown and move through the items, either with our without expanding the dropdown

Actual behavior:

NVDA simply reads the text of each item.

Expected behavior:

NVDA not only reads the text of each item, but it should also say what index each item is. So for my example, it might say "Option 2, 2 of 3"
