Question 1 of 5
Search UX & Autocomplete
A team builds an autocomplete dropdown where pressing the Tab key selects the currently highlighted suggestion and inserts it into the input field. What is wrong with this behavior?
Tab should wrap focus back to the top of the suggestion list, not activate anything
Tab is expected to dismiss the dropdown and move focus to the next interactive element — activating a suggestion on Tab disrupts natural focus flow and breaks screenreader workflows
Tab should only work when the user has pressed the Down Arrow at least once to enter the list
Nothing is wrong — Tab to accept is a recognized combobox pattern in the ARIA APG
