What is the problem?

Describe your motivation

I notice that the screen reader is not always reading the value in the MultiSelect Combobox via keyboard navigation. Please refer the attached recording for more information.

Describe the solution you'd like

The screen reader should read the value every time when I focus on the combobox.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Additional context

It seems like when I click on its label, it will read out the values.
