I'm thinking that this might be able to be resolved by specifically handling the "up/down" arrow key events. We should try moving the focus programmatically to the highlighted item. Then, when you're typing any other key/character, we should move focus back to the text box. I'll play around with this today.

I just ran into this as well when using it with NVDA. The unintuitive thing to do is to press tab to move focus from the text field to the list of suggestions to have it read with u/down arrow.
