Internal issues:

  • b/346586723
  • b/346601921
  • b/346588887

Reproduction:

We received a bouquet of issues filed against the Autocomplete widget:

  • Accessible names missing for auto-complete items
  • Auto-complete user flow cannot be completed using screen reader shortcuts
  • Auto-complete item list not reachable using a screen reader

All these issues sound too close to each other to address them one by one. Filing a single issue for us to review what's going on with AutoComplete. It is likely that we only need one fix to capture them all.
