 From @afercia's comment on #33301:

 > About the issue with Safari, I've recently had the opportunity to test
 using Safari+VoiceOver and noticed the Twitter search suggestion (which
 perfectly works) sets an aria-selected="true" on the highlighted option
 item. Quickly tried that and it seems it makes Safari understand what's
 going on, finally the autocomplete items get read out. Need to build a
 clean patch and test a lot but we're probably on the right track now :)
 > Can confirm that in Safari after Cmd+K the focus goes forth and back
 from the Editor to the combobox 2-3 times, sometimes it lands on the
 search field, sometimes not. Couldn't reproduce consistently.
 > Please consider I'm a newbie with VoiceOver, but I've noticed this focus
 "jump" doesn't happen when I diligently follow VoiceOver instructions
 telling me: "To enter the web area, press Control-Option-Shift-Down
 Arrow". After this, everything works nicely. Would greatly appreciate some
 feedback from VoiceOver experienced users, specifically if pressing
 "Control-Option-Shift-Down Arrow" enters a sort of "forms mode" and
 affects how JavaScript keyboard events behave. @MarcoZ any thoughts? When
 you have a chance! Thanks very much :)

 I'm attaching @afercia's patch to fix this issue as well.
