Help us understand the severity of this issue

• causing severe production issues e.g. malfunctions or data loss
• blocking next binary release
• blocking a client feature launch within a quarter
• nice-to-have but does not block a launch within the next quarter

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a page with a dropdown menu
2. Using the screen reader, tap into the dropdown menu

Expected results

The dropdown input and dropdown button should be grouped as a single focusable unit. VoiceOver should announce the the control with a proper label, role and state, e.g., "Filter items, All selected, button collapsed".

Actual results

VoiceOver focus moves to the dropdown selected value, then separately to the dropdown button, announcing it as "Down Arrow".

Code sample

DropdownMenu<String>(
          enabled: true,
          initialSelection:
              selectedLabel ?? dropdownLabels.first,
          onSelected: onFilterSelected,
          dropdownMenuEntries: [
            for (final label in dropdownLabels)
              DropdownMenuEntry<String>(
                value: label,
                label: label,
                labelWidget: Text(
                  label,
                ),
              ),
          ],
        ),
