Error Messages
Not applicable.
Steps to Reproduce
Use JAWS on an autocomplete input field.
Root Cause
This feature is working as designed.
JAWS will read out the options returned, but cannot count the number of results. One reason is this control loads in a progressive nature, and as user arrow downs through the options additional results can be returned.
