The keyboard controls for select2 are still ... unusual, so some
explanation probably needs to be added to the user manual. Basically:

- To open the selection dropdown, focus on the combo box and press Enter twice. Screen reader users should hear "Please enter 1 or more characters"
- Use the arrow keys to select an option, then press Enter to add it to the list of selected items. A "Remove" button for that item will then appear above the input box

Title:
  Accessibility problems with select2 4.0

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Mahara has recently upgraded to select2 4.0, but there appear to be outstanding accessibility issues with this version, eg. https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3735 and https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3744
  These need to be evaluated and fixed (more info coming when I've found out how serious they are ...)

  In addition, the user manual might need to be updated with a
  description of the new focus behaviour (needing to press Enter before
  starting to type) - however, an alternative could be to include this
  as an accessible description on the page itself.

  Affects latest master
