(bug report only)
The DropDownList (and other dropdown components - ComboBox, MultiColumnComboBox, etc.) render a redundant attribute in their popup ul element: aria-live="polite". Listboxes that use aria-activedescendant for tracking should not also announce via a live region — this creates duplicate/conflicting announcements by screen readers.
(optional)
The popup’s ul element renders aria-live=”polite”.
Either render aria-live=”off” (e.g., Kendo Angular DropDownList), or don’t render the aria-live attribute at all.
