I can’t navigate to the options within a role=listbox with Talkback 13.5 on android 13 with Chrome 115. I have tried several listbox implementations, none work. Am I missing something? Example page: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/listbox/examples/listbox-scrollable/

@joehumbert @aardrian @yatil @dennisl y’all have valid points and feedback. At the end of the day, I think this is a step in the right direction and I’m optimistic that it will continue to grow given enough support. There is a lot happening behind the scenes, beyond just these support tables, to lay the foundation for even more meaningful results.

Some people have nightmares about lions or monsters chasing them. Me? It’s a pack of wild loading spinners in a SPA micro-app architecture.
I do love me some design pattern semantic mystery meat. Is it a table? Maybe a list? Headings? Or just text? You don’t know till you peel off the lid and dig in! Yummy! 😬🤢
