508 Compliance - Labels and identity for certain combo boxes are not announced by JAWS

Labels and identity for certain combo boxes (dropdown boxes) are not announced by JAWS. As an example within the “Content” screen, the "Type" combo box is announced by JAWS as “-View All-”, instead of announcing the label and identity as e.g., “Type" combo box -View All- 1 of 31 to change the selection use the arrow keys”.

This defect exists in Google Chrome v55.0.2883.87 m and does not exist in IE 11.

Expected result: All labels and identity of the fields are expected to be announced by JAWS. In this instance, JAWS is expected to announce e.g., “Type combo box -View All- 1 of 31 to change the selection use the arrow keys”.

Reference: Section 508, Part 1194.22, Paragraph (n).

Notes:
• This defect also exists elsewhere within the application.
