Re: Chrome 80 Bug

I think this might be the same bug I saw discussed recently in the web-a11y
Slack, which also got filed at
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1047549 (which was
apparently scoped to listboxoption, but whose fix should work in other
cases). The discussion in the Slack also indicated that while the fix
didn't make it in time for Chrome 81, it should likely be released in 82. I
believe a temporary workaround also mentioned in the Slack was to add
role="presentation" to the <strong>. Hope that helps,

Max
