Description
Hi Team,
While checking the jquery Selectric demo with NVDA screen reader, I am facing issue in reading the text.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
Turn on the NVDA screen reader
Open the jquery Selectric demo
https://selectric.js.org/demo.html
Open the drop-down by using mouse click
Now press the down arrow, it will focus in to li element but screen reader reads as "BLANK".
I have added role=list for ul and listitem for li but doesn't works. Tried with roles menu, menuitem, presentation but nothing works.
Any one please suggest how to resolve this issue ?
If it is a known issue, is any work around solutions available ?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Karthik R
