Steps to reproduce the problem:
Use a screen reader (e.g. ChromeVox or VoiceOver on Mac) and an ARIA listbox (potentially as part of an autocomplete widget).
1. If using an autocomplete widget, start typing in the textarea in order for the autocomplete list to popup
2. navigate in the listbox using up/down arrow (in the example HTML this will change the aria-activedescendant property of the listbox)
What is the expected behavior?
The content of the option identified by the aria-activedescendant property should be announced to the screen readers.
This works with: FF + VoiceOver on Mac, Safari + VoiceOver on Mac IE/FF + JAWS on Windows
What went wrong?
The contents are not announced.
Does not work with: Chrome + ChromeVox on Linux/Mac/Windows, Safari + VoiceOver on Mac
Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes
