In compose there are multiple accessibility roles: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/ui/ui/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/semantics/SemanticsProperties.kt;l=554;drc=412c979a93d75d581b1d0a40212f8a012458b862

It seems like there is no role for "dropdown list" (such that when you focus on a dropdown button that opens a dropdown list, Talkback announces "dropdown list").

This used to be possible with old Views if you used the Spinner view.

This happens when there is multiple Text elements in the merged tree and we just take the first one and ignore the rest.

Marked as fixed.

I'm working on it this week. Note that the culprit is actually the big substantive patch I landed on Jul 3, http://aosp/1354246

I started a WIP patch to allow non-unique keys: http://aosp/1375563 . It doesn't fix any bug so far because everything on the semantics client side (accessibility, tests) is just taking the first key/value pair, reproducing the old behavior. Semantics tests pass, next I'll check nothing else is broken and then make it work as expected with duplicate TestTags and Text semantics especially.
