Bug Description
Accessibility Issue with Screen Readers:
Screen readers are unable to announce the single selection case. In contrast, for multi-selection, screen readers successfully convey the MultiSelection message to sightless users.
Affected Component
No response
Expected Behaviour
Both single selection or multiple selection should be recognized by screen readers.
multi-selection items:
Contains Multi-Selectable Items. ✅
single-selection items:
Contains Selectable Items ❌
Ensure that once the focus is on single or multiple selection section, screenreader should announce the selection mode accordingly. Such as Contains Single-Selectable Items.
