Describe the bug The Singe Select Input (e.g., at https://choices-js.github.io/Choices) cannot be operated using iOS VoiceOver. Although you can navigate to the Select menu—and it is read aloud and opens—you cannot then use right-swipe gestures to navigate to the individual options. This makes it difficult for people with disabilities to have the options read aloud and ultimately make a selection. Instead, it jumps to the next element and reads that one aloud.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'https://choices-js.github.io/Choices'
- Scroll down to 'Single select input'
- Activate VoiceOver
- Trying to have the individual options read aloud using swipe gestures
Expected behavior Each option could be visited via gestures vie VoiceOver.
