What version of JAWS are you running?

I have an older version, JAWS 2020, and it's reading it correctly. Your code snippet sounds like this:

list 
with 5 items
Account settings Link 
Profile Information Link 
My Applications Link 
Job Alerts Link 
Contact Information Current Link

The output is from the speech history window (Ins+Space,H). Notice the "Current" on the last link because it has aria-current=true.

I used tab to navigate to all the links.

If I use the down arrow to navigate the DOM, I still hear "Current", although it's announced before the link text instead of after it, but that doesn't matter.

list of 5 items
• Link Account settings
• Link Profile Information
• Link My Applications
• Link Job Alerts
• Link Current Contact Information

JAWS says "bullet" for the bullet graphic symbol.
