Description
Bug Description
When a user types a letter into the MultiComboBox input the SR announced "Selected" even though the user has not yet selected an input value from the suggestions. This is a misleading selection state announcement.
Affected Component
MultiComboBox
Expected Behaviour
The Selected state should only be announced when the user has selected the input suggestion.
Isolated Example
Steps to Reproduce
- Issue can be reproduced on the current webcomponents playground
- Turn on JAWS 2026 SR and navigate to the combobox input
- Type 'A'
- notice that the SR announces "Selected" before the user has selected any tokens
