JAWS-test
commented
1 year ago The problem occurs with JAWS and NVDA.
It occurs with comboboxes that are not implemented with aria-activedescendant, i.e. whenever the focus actually goes into the list and does not remain in the input field. The cause is that the combobox is left and then receives focus again - the screen readers cannot recognise that the focused input field was the triggering element and does not have to be output again.
- combobox without aria-activedescendant, where the problem also occurs: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/examples/combobox-datepicker/

Summary
When I tab into the Angular Bootstrap typeahead, the aria-label is announced as expected. But then when I make a selection, the aria-label is repeated again in its entirety (the label, instructions, etc.).
Expected result
After typeahead selection, expected JAWS to announce only the selection made. The aria label should not be repeated.
Actual result
JAWS repeats the aria label, then the selection made and then the instructions.
Example
https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/typeahead/examples
On the Simple Typeahead example, after a selection is made, "Search for a state" is repeated.
