Bug Description

In the manual partition dialog, Orca does not announce mount-point autocomplete suggestion values (for example /boot, /home) when navigating the suggestion list with keyboard.

This was discovered during manual verification for #1246 (dropdown semantics).

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Launch installer in dry-run mode.
  2. Go to Manual partitioning.
  3. Select free space and open Create partition.
  4. Focus the Mount point field.
  5. Type / so autocomplete suggestions appear.
  6. Use keyboard navigation (for example Down Arrow) to move through suggestions.
  7. Observe Orca output.

Expected behavior

When moving through mount-point suggestions, Orca should announce the currently focused suggestion value (e.g. /boot, /home) and selection changes.
