Description

When running the screen reader JAWS, it does not always capture keyup events. As a result of this, we are unable to select items in the autocomplete component, using the keyboard, when using JAWS. I have yet to see if using keydown fixes this solution, but in any case this is a bug in the autocomplete component when using JAWS (or it could be considered a JAWS bug).
