Description

Steps to reproduce

Steps:

  1. Open a link with Select, e.g. https://mui.com/material-ui/react-menu/
  2. Enable TalkBack
  3. Open Menu
  4. Focus is on a whole list of options
  5. Try to navigate to next element to choose one of the options
Current behavior

Trying to navigate to next item (swipe right), it focuses first item for a fraction of a second and moves the focus back to the whole list.

Expected behavior

Swiping right and left allows to focus one of the options and double tap chooses it.

Guess the answer will be the same as there — it’s fixed in base-ui and will land in MUI in next major release, but reporting for completeness.
