Description

Hello,
We are using react-select inside @atlaskit/select and found a bug here.

Steps to reproduce:

Actual behavior:
The screen reader does not inform the addition of a new value or provide instructions for moving between values (pressing the left and right arrow keys)

Expected behavior:
The screen reader should inform the addition of a new value and provide instructions for moving between values (pressing the left and right arrow keys)
Behavior should be the same as for the "Creatable Multiselect Example" at https://react-select.com/creatable or https://codesandbox.io/s/p2zrqn?module=/example.tsx

Best regards!

Research direction

Start by comparing the Multi-select text input example with the Creatable Multiselect Example, using a screen reader and the Enter or Tab keys to reproduce the issue. The work is done when adding a value announces the addition and provides instructions for moving between values with the left and right arrow keys.
