Comment (by MarcoZ):

 I just gave the trunk installation a quick test with both Safari and
 Chrome on OS X with VoiceOver (not ChromeVox), and find that Chrome does
 read the search results. But due to a bug in its text interface, it
 doesn't read anything you type in any text field, nor does it re-read the
 text when arrowing over it. But the search result arrowing up and down
 does work.

 I could not confirm that focus would not land in the combobox for me in
 Safari after CMD+K.

 Without having looked at the code, here are a few ideas:

 * If you use aria-activedescendant to manage focus for the individual
 option items in the auto-complete, but have not added tabindex="-1" to
 make them focusable but not included in the tab order, please try adding
 those and see if it makes a difference.
 * If you use aria-owns, this may interfere, because it is inconsistently
 implemented. Try removing that and use aria-controls instead, or
 exclusively, to point from the combobox itself to the container holding
 the option items.
 * Or are you only using a live region to speak the result arrowed to? If
 so, you might want to consider using a real widget markup instead, since
 live region support has been known to be somewhat inconsistent still.

 Hope these help!
