@vaishnavi-115 - Thanks for filing this issue with us and updating it with the codepen. To set expectation our team will have a look at the issue but only once capacity allows.

@bsunderhus - Would you be able to confirm if this is a regression, or if this behavior is an issue?

Looks like it's because we have aria-live="off", which is ironically not supported, and defaulting to assertive. If we remove the live region attribute entirely, it doesn't read out.

I've added a PR fixing this in v8, though it's worth noting the codepen is in v6, which has different live region attributes and would need a different PR (probably not just a cherry-pick).
