Summary:	AX: VO+Safari option elements are not conveyed

Description mfairchild365 2020-01-22 07:30:25 PST

This happens with <options> in two contexts: <select> and a text input with a datalist.

Examples:

- Select: https://a11ysupport.io/tests/tech__html__select
- Datalist: https://a11ysupport.io/tests/html/html/datalist.html

To reproduce:

1. Using MacOS 10.15 with Safari 13.0,
2. Ensure that VoiceOver is on with the default settings
3. Navigate to the above links
4. Press the tab key to navigate to the Select element or text input.
5. Cause the options to appear
  - for the select element, press space bar
  - for the datalist, enter the text "fun" to make the options appear
6. Press down arrow - notice that the next option is selected but VoiceOver does not convey anything

Expected result: when navigating through a list of options (via up and down arrow keys), the name of each option should be conveyed, along with appropriate states (such as the disabled state)

Update, the problems with the select example appear to be due to an issue with a specific MacBook. I'm able to reproduce the issues with the datalist on multiple laptops.

I can confirm this bug is still present and <datalist> <option> element fails to work with VoiceOver at this example also https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/datalist

Seconding Paul's comment above so I can follow if fixes are implemented for a project we are working on.
