Description

Currently, the combobox multiselect has a bug where screen readers (tested with NVDA latest) will not read the selected value on the first selected item. I believe this may be caused by the `aria-selected` attribute getting dynamically added on the first key down for enter. I recommend setting `aria-selected="false"` initially when the combobox is rendered on the page that way screen readers have access to the default values.
