12. Observer that when the keyboard focus moves to the select subscription list, JAWS/NVDA announces, 'type to narrow down result' and the list name.

Actual Experience

When the keyboard focus moves to the select subscription list, JAWS/NVDA announces, 'type to narrow down result' and the list name. This will miss lead the screen reader user because keyboard focus is on list not on any edit filter.

Similar issue observed with following scenarios:

Scenario1: Creating a job Select an Azure ML job Schema

1. TAB till create job button and press ENTER key
2. TAB till list and observe the issue.

Scenario2: Setting Default Workspace

1. Open the Command Palette via the keyboard command Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Type "Set default workspace" and select the option from the dropdown list called "Azure ML: Set Default Workspace") and press enter
3. A list should appear that says "Select a subscription"
4. Use the up/down arrows to navigate the list until "AML V1 Personal 2" is selected, and press enter
5. A list should appear that says "Select a workspace"
6. TAB till list and observe the issue.

Expected Experience

When the keyboard focus moves to the select subscription list, JAWS/NVDA should announce the list name only.

User Impact:

Screen reader user will miss lead as focus is not on any edit filter, but JAWS/NVDA announces, 'type to narrow down result'.
