+      <p>Browsers do not manage visibility of elements referenced by <code>aria-activedescendant</code> like they do for elements with focus. When a keyboard event changes the active option in the listbox, the JavaScript scrolls the option referenced by <code>aria-activedescendant</code> into view. Managing <code>aria-activedescendant</code> visibility is essential to accessibility for people who use a browser's zoom feature to increase the size of content.
