Description
dijit.form._AutoCompleterMixin correctly uses aria-activedescendant attribute to signify to the screen reader what option in a drop down is selected. However, when the drop down is closed and the domNode is no longer visible, this attribute should be removed but it is not. There is code in closeDropDown() to remove this attribute, but we call closeDropDown first and then later the a11y code to set aria-activedescendant, so we had to move this call to remove the attribute a little later.
Attached a patch for the nightly build and for 1.8 - can we please backport this to maintain accessibility support on 1.8? Thanks.
