Description
My understanding of the selectmenu widget is that it exists to replace the default select form control as provided by browsers. However, jQuery UI is giving it a role="combobox", which according to the aria specification means that it MUST contain a textbox to allow searching the items in the selectmenu (see autocomplete). This could understandably lead to issues with screen readers and might even explain https://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/10407
See the selectmenu demo for an example: https://jqueryui.com/selectmenu/

We should probably be using
listbox
