ARIA Example Combobox Value not Conveyed to Firefox/NVDA after selected

Open A11yA11yA11y opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

The combobox example on https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/example-index/combobox/combobox-select-only.html does not indicate the value that is conveyed when leaving the selected option and returning to the value. This is not compliant with SC 4.1.2.

The W3 example does convey the value that has been selected after leaving and returning: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select_name

Your link to the example is false. Do you mean one example from: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/ ? If yes: Which one?

Ah yes, @JAWS-test I meant this favorite fruit combobox example: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/example-index/combobox/combobox-select-only.html

This is a Firefox Bug. Firefox does not submit the value to the Accessibility API. Thus, the problem also occurs with other screen readers, e.g. JAWS. Please file a ticket to Firefox.
