Firefox on Android with the text field selected and the caption from TalkBack showing it exposed as just a text field.
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0
Firefox for Android
Steps to reproduce:
Using Firefox 114 on a Pixel 6 running Android 13 and TalkBack 13.1:
- Go to https://cdpn.io/aardrian/debug/RwqKJZz
- Put focus in the field labeled "Berries" (or "Datalist")
- Observe no list of options appears anywhere
- Start to enter a value
- Observe no list of options appears anywhere, and note that any autocomplete suggestions above the keyboard are not related to the options
- Activate TalkBack
- Observe the field is announced as a plain text field ("Edit box... double tap to edit text")
- Observe no announcements of options being available
Actual results:
At no point was I presented with the list of options from the <datalist>. Not alongside the field, not as suggestions, nowhere.
Expected results:
options from the <datalist> should be exposed to users in some way.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

I changed the component to 'DOM: Forms' since the feature appears to be exposed to nobody. Me using TalkBack was confirming that is not programmatically exposed even in the absence of a visual interface. But this is not my rodeo, so change as you see fit.
I asked on the socials for folks to confirm what I was experiencing (I don't have a testing team)...

"I get the same results as you using Firefox 114.2.0 on a Samsung S10 running Android 12. The datalist is not exposed at any time with and without running TalkBack."
