Aria-expanded property is not getting populated in react-select

[abhirastogi]

This is a bug regarding react-select v2.

We are reporting a bug which can also be found in React-Select home page (here)
The aria-expanded property is not getting populated with the component during the runtime.

• We are trying to the achieve accessibility including the narrator and keyboard support.
• aria-expanded is the property that we are looking for.
• A similar functionality can be found in kendo-react-combobox

Just want to add that React-Select also has next problems while using JAWS screen reader.

STR:

1. Go to React select home page
2. Run JAWS screen reader
3. Use keyboard to select an item from list

Actual results:

• background is not changing when item from list is selected
• it is not possible to select an item by pressing on Enter/Space keyboard button

Expected results:

• background is changing when item from list is selected
• it is possible to select an item by pressing on Enter/Space keyboard button

Please note that no issues were found while using VoiceOver on macOS

Could you please clarify is it possible to fix those issues in nearest time?

Thanks

Is there any update on this? We are working on accessibility to add aria-expanded.
