We updated Kendo UI for JQuery from v2021.2.511 to v2022.1.325 and we observed that certain screen reader functions were broken.
The following issues were observed when screen reader is activated on any KendoMultiSelect control:
a. The selected item and tag are not being announced. The selected item and the tag were announced by narrator before the update.
b. The number of available suggestions is not announced. This was announced before the update.
c. When scan mode is activated, users cannot navigate the list items using the up/down arrow keys.
d. When a user enters a search string that is not in the datasource, narrator does not announce that. Before the update, narrator would announce "Selection contains zero items".
For other controls like checkboxes, narrator does not announce the name or label of the controls when in focus.
Is there a different attribute other than aria-label that we need defined on these controls to get screen readers to announce them?
I'd appreciate any help to get these issues fixed.
Thanks!
