@dakahn - Can we have an update on this- this affects our product's accessibility compliance due to the dependency. Please look into this.

No update to give. This is a high priority issue and a still a problem. @carbon-design-system/developers this fix will potentially involve a refactor of the component to use Downshift's useMultipleSelection hook. It's on our radar though, thanks for the ping.

Circling back on this. On selection JAWS reads "undefined has been selected". If the list box is closed and then opened list items are not properly described as "selected".
