[ui5-side-navigation-item]: JAWS reads "selected" on every item on focus

[f16r]

Bug Description

I do understand that the actual selected item will be announced with "Current Page" but it is misleading that JAWS reads "selected" on every navigation item that reaches focus.

https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/components/fiori/SideNavigation/

Affected Component

ui5-side-navigation

Expected Behaviour

E.g. "To navigate press enter" instead of "selected" if the navigation item is not for the current page.

Hello @f16r,

This seems like a JAWS issue. The same can be observed at this example https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/treeview/examples/treeview-navigation/#ex_label
I have reported this issue to Freedom Scientific with FreedomScientific/standards-support#824. Please track the progress there.

Best regards,

@dimovpetar will you reopen this issue after the latest feedback in FreedomScientific/standards-support#824?

We are still investigating what is the correct behavior. I am reopening the ticket.
