Description
react-select - Version 5.7.7
Browser - Microsoft Edge for business 118.0.2088.69
Screen reader - NVDA - Version 2023 (2023.1.0.27913)
I have a simple select component as below
import Select from 'react-select'
const options = [
{ value: '', label: 'blank' },
{ value: 'spanish', label: 'Spanish' },
{ value: 'french', label: 'French' },
{ value: 'italian', label: 'Italian' },
{ value: 'german', label: 'German' }
];
export const App = () => {
return (
<div className="App">
<Select options={options} />
</div>
);
When I tested this component against NVDA screen reader, for desktop view NVDA correctly announces the selection but not for iPad or mobile view it does not, it announces title of the page (here React App document). Please see screenshot
