apologies i was incorrect w/ my last response, in reference to;

(it is a matter if the selected items should say "<item name> selected", it says "<item name> not selected" for non selected items)

I have done some testing with other frameworks that supply multi-select component.

your component is on par with others for the following behaviour.

in drop down panel;

moving focus on to selected items the screen reader says "<item name>" ,

moving focus on to not selected items the screen reader says "<item name> not selected

Hi,

I am going to raise another bug or three. so they can be resolved independently.

I have tested 2.27.0 release in both Chrome and Firefox via the multiselect demo.

In short i can confirm the changes made to the multiselect component are better for screen readers.

(it is a matter if the selected items should say "<item name> selected", it says "<item name> not selected" for non selected items)
