aria-live attribute is rendered in the popup's ul element

Bug report

Reproduction of the problem

(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.

Current behavior

(optional)
The popup’s ul element renders aria-live=”polite”.

Expected/desired behavior

Either render aria-live=”off” (e.g., Kendo Angular DropDownList), or don’t render the aria-live attribute at all.

Environment

  • Kendo/Telerik version:
  • jQuery version: x.y
  • Browser: [all]
