Problem description

  • On VoiceOver on macOS, When in the listbox in the notepad, can't use Ctrl+Opt+Left/right to move between components inside the listbox item. Only up/down arrow keys work and they move focus between the lines, but it's impossible to focus the buttons inside the listbox items.
  • Confirmation message not read/focused when clicking on "Remove all notes" button.

Expected behavior

VoiceOver navigation works as expected and confirmation message is read to users and confirm button is focused after clicking the remove button.

Additional details

@fkling Let me know if you can help fix this. If you still don't have a Mac device where you can run voiceover, we can reassign.
