I did:

• [ ] Search for if my issue has already been submitted
• [ ] Make sure I'm reporting something precise that needs to be fixed
• [ ] Give my issue a descriptive and concise title
• [ ] Create a minimal working example on JsFiddle or Codepen (or gave a link to a demo on the Selectize docs)
• [ ] Indicate precise steps to reproduce in numbers and the result, like below

[replace me with a short description of issue]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch URL: Dropdown header | Selectize on Chrome browser.
2. Home page appears.
3. Navigate to selectize plugin demos on left and expand
4. Navigate to dropdown header and press enter
5. Turn on screen reader and navigate through dropdown option

Expected result: Screen reader should announce the options information of combo edit fields. EX: Screen readers should announce the focused combo list item/ option information like 'awesome 1 of 5" while navigating on the options.

Actual result: Screen reader is not announcing the options information of combo edit fields (like 'awesome', 'beast', 'compatible' 'nikola'.., available under 'Create allocation' dialog. Observation: Screen Readers (Narrator) remain silent while navigating on the options/ combo box list items, NVDA announce as blank
