Description

[Morgan Reschenberg [:morgan]]

STR:

1. Enable VoiceOver
2. Load the following data:text/html,%20%20%20 <div role="listbox"><div role="grouping" id="a"><div role="option" aria-selected="true" checked="">Card 1</div></div><div role="grouping" id="b"><div role="option" aria-selected="false" checked="">Card 2</div></div><div role="grouping" id="c"><div role="option" aria-selected="false" checked="">Card 3</div></div></div>
3. Navigate through the listbox with VO+shift+down to enter the box and VO+arrow keys to move through the options

Expected:
Card 1 is read as selected, with position information (1 of 3)

Actual:
Card 1 is not read as selected nor does it have positional info. other cards do not have positional info either, and they should.
