Description Andy Blum 2023-06-20 13:03:22 PDT
When a <select> element's value is changed programatically, the voiceover cursor jumps to that element moving a user out of the flow of the document mid-reading. As far as I can tell, this is iOS/iPadOS only and v16+ only.

Replication Directions:
- Navigate to the codepen demo (linked below)
- View the pen in debug mode, if possible. The codepen UI will make testing slightly more difficult.
- Using VO on iOS/iPadOS 16+, swipe through the page content. As sections move up the page, the select box at the top will have its value changed programatically
- Note that the VO cursor jumps to the changed <select> input, pulling a user out of the middle of reading long-form content, and making it impossible to get through all the content on the page.
