--- Comment #3 from Jesse Beach <jesse.r.beach at gmail.com> ---
We are running up against this issue as well at Facebook. Our top-level search bar experience is hampered on OSX because of this issue. I've put together a codepen that can be tested on OSX with VoiceOver. Note that the items targeted by the aria-activedescendant attribute on the combobox input are not announced by VoiceOver.

I tested this behavior with JAWS 16 on Windows using Chrome and the example codepen behaved as expected -- the items targeted by aria-activedescendant are announced when the id value is changed in the attribute.

This gap is functionality for Safari and Chrome on OSX is a serious impediment for low vision and blind web users.
