This a combobox that works good when using a screen reader (tested using VoiceOver on mac):
https://designsystem.digital.gov/components/combo-box/

What to fix

I have identified four issues, presented below in screenshots. Each screenshot contains an example from the accessible combobox linked above, alongside how our combobox work.

Note: On these screenshots, the gray box displays what the screen reader (VoiceOver) reads out loud.

Feedback: "Focusing" on the combo box
