            Bug ID: 237320
           Summary: AX: In Safari using VoiceOver, unable to type text on
                    role=combobox autosuggest
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 15
          Hardware: All
                OS: macOS 10.15
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Safari go to https://alphagov.github.io/accessible-autocomplete/examples/
2. Turn on VoiceOver and navigate down the page using Ctrl+Option+Right-Arrow
3. Navigate to an autosuggest example so that input field has focus
4. VoiceOver will provide instruction for interacting with the input field and you will hear "You are currently on a Menu pop-up combo box. Type text, or to display a list a choices, press Control-Option-Space."
5. Try to type a country.

Expected: Once the input field has focus, I should be able to type text to trigger the autosuggest option list.
Observed: There is a quick flash of the cursor and then it disappears. If I try to type text, nothing displays in the input, so it is impossible to interact with the autosuggest.

Additional Notes:

Safari: Version 15.2 (15612.3.6.1.8, 15612)
VoiceOver: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Chrome: Version 98.0.4758.80

When following these steps in Chrome with VoiceOver, it works as expected and cursor stays in input field. If using tab key in Safari with VoiceOver, it works as expected and cursor stays in input field; however, tab key is not how I'd expect to navigate forward through a webpage in VoiceOver.
