NVDA has issues reading options

See original GitHub issue

NVDA can read options very oddly, even breaking apart words or omitting parts of words altogether. Using the first example on the homepage (“Single”), here is the NVDA / Firefox output from initial focus through using <kbd>↓</kbd> to navigate through the list. Note issue #1585 is still present in this readout.

@agonzalezcr Unfortunately no. I did try shortly after filing this issue to fix it in the library to eventually make a PR. Didn’t get too far though.

@kylehalleman thank you and no pressure. Jed has mentioned that there will be another internal member added to the team soon that will be focusing on accessibility, but again just happy to address any issues and welcome any assistance the community is able to provide.
