Description

On the first glance into the code, this library seems to follow the aria guidelines for accessibility and screen reader usage. However, when actually using a screenreader like JAWS or NVDA, it fails to read the options inside the listbox and some other small issues.


Update:
Updating to v10.0.0-beta-7 solves the issue and reads out the options correctly. However now there's a second issue. When I run the any screenreader on this demo, it reads:

  • jack not selected 2 from 3
  • lucy not selected 2 from 3
  • zyminge selected 2 from 2

When will v10 be used in antd?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the linked optgroup demo with JAWS or NVDA and compare its announcements with the reported output. The issue names no files or tests; completion would require identifying the source of the incorrect listbox announcements and clarifying whether the v10 update is used by antd.
