Screenreader announces "selection contains 0 items" when a selection is made

Hello,

When my screenreader is focused on a dropdownlist, it always mentions  "selection contains 0 items", even when something is selected, and there are multiple items in the dropdown. I wanted to ask what I can do to change this announcement if possible, and what the 0 is referring to?

I am using this code as an example:


@using Syncfusion.Blazor.DropDowns

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Calendars




<SfDropDownList TItem="GameFields" TValue="string" PopupHeight="230px" Width="300px" @bind-Value="@DropDownValue" DataSource="@Games">

    <DropDownListFieldSettings Text="Text" Value="ID"></DropDownListFieldSettings>

</SfDropDownList>




@code{

    public class GameFields

    {

        public string ID { get; set; }

        public string Text { get; set; }

    }

    private List<GameFields> Games = new List<GameFields>()

{

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game1", Text= "American Football" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game2", Text= "Badminton" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game3", Text= "Basketball" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game4", Text= "Cricket" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game5", Text= "Football" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game6", Text= "Golf" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game7", Text= "Hockey" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game8", Text= "Rugby"},

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game9", Text= "Snooker" },

        new GameFields(){ ID= "Game10", Text= "Tennis"},

     };

    public string DropDownValue = "Game3";

}

Thank you

I think it might be related to this span element that I'm having trouble accessing and editing, but I don't know why the screen reader is mentioning that there are 0 items:
