[MultiComboBox|A11y]: Irrelevant info is read out on opening drop-down

[f16r]

Bug Description

After opening the drop-down with the key combination Alt + Arrow Down JAWS reads the title of the document with suffix "Google Chrome Dialog" (e.g. MultiComboBox | UI5 Web Components - Google Chrome dialog on https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/components/MultiComboBox/).

Affected Component

MultiComboBox

Expected Behaviour

Use a more meaningful name that links the dialog to the multi combobox input instead to the overall document.

Isolated Example

Hello @SAP/ui5-webcomponents-topic-rl,

When ui5-multi-combobox dropdown is open, the browser tab title information is read out in addition to the expected speech output. Probably, it is a JAWS bug that has to be isolated.
You can check the sample: https://sap.github.io/ui5-webcomponents/storybook/playground/main/pages/MultiComboBox/ The issue is not reproducible with NVDA.
Check JAWS issue 0005 from the wiki as it is similar.

Could you please look over?

Thank you in advance!

Kind Regards,
Niya

Hello @f16r ,

This seems to be a JAWS specific behavior - when a dialog is not labelled (in our case the multicombobox popover) the Screen Reader seems to announce the <title> element of the html document as a dialog title, on opening the dialog.
In order to avoid this behavior I have applied a label to the suggestions popup. Additionally I did the same for the ui5-input and ui5-combobox as well.

Thank you for identifying this behavior and helping us improve the accessibility of our components!

The issue will be closed automatically once the improvement is merged in the release 1.24 branch.

Kind Regards,
Elena
