I have quite a complicated bit autocomplete search developed using React. I don’t want to redevelop full thing. I need to make it work with a screen reader, to achieve this I use a button to set focus on input field that is being used to do the search – this all works. It also works fine without a screen reader, but when I am focused on this input using the screenreader (voiceover, in either FF or Chrome) I get the message that I am on a combo box and I can enter text by typing.
