Code Sandbox

Can be reproduced on the Blueprint docs page:
https://blueprintjs.com/docs/#select/select-component

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install and run a screen reader software.
    For example, NVDA screen reader:
    https://www.nvaccess.org/download/
  2. Go to the Blueprint select docs page
  3. Focus select input by using Tab key and press Enter to open the menu
  4. Navigate by using arrow up/down keys

Actual behavior

There is no feedback from the screen reader regarding currently active item.

Expected behavior

Screen reader should provide feedback regarding currently active item.

Possible solution

Workaround is to use Tab key to iterate through items.
However it is less convenient comparing with arrow keys navigation.
