[Problem]
Autocomplete suggestions (that become available in the autocomplete popup when a user types anything in) are not announced to users with screen readers.
Screen reader users will be unaware of important updates to this content when they occur.
[Recommendation]
Indicate live regions for dynamically changing content. Live regions can be created by adding a role attribute set to "log", "status", "alert", "progressbar", "marquee", or "timer" as appropriate.
Literally all that needs to be done is to add role="log" to the autocomplete popup container. Can you please add it?
