Description

Visually, there are two distinct lists separated by a divider. The first list contains three items, and the second list contains two items. However, the screen reader announces these as a single list and incorrectly counts the divider as an additional item.

Two different list should be defined and screen reader should announce the list items count along with the list correctly.
