Reproduction repository:

Reproduces in the example: https://www.downshift-js.com/use-combobox/#basic-multiple-selection

Problem description:

I think VoiceOver should stay on the focused item even after deselecting it.

It works as expected in the Ariakit multi-select combobox: https://ariakit.org/examples/combobox-multiple
