Extraneous image is exposed to accessibility APIs next to every content editable

Project Member Reported by vtsaran@chromium.org, Mar 2 2016

Issue description

Version: 51.0.2665.0 ( Official Build ) canary (64-bit)
OS: Mac OS (10.11.3, El Capitan)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch VoiceOver screen reader with CMD+F5, then open Gmail.
2. Click on the "compose" button and tab to (focus on) the "message area" field.
3.Using CTRL+Option+RightArrow navigate to the DOM element next to the text area; listen to the output.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Chrome should move to the next non-decorative element on the page.
Instead, I hear "/gumdrop.png image".

Note:
this can also be observed in Hangouts and pretty much anywhere whether the rich-text edit fields are used.

I fixed something very similar recently. Assigning this to me to look at.

I can't reproduce this with current gmail using 51.0.2689.0; do you know of another content editable I can test with?
Sure. You can also try in Hangouts conversations. I do still see the issue with gmail in El Capitan.
Were you able to reproduce the issue with Hangouts, for example?
Hi vtsaran@,

Sorry it took me a while to get back to this. I still can't reproduce this bug, either in Hangouts or gmail. I don't see such an image anywhere in the page DOM, either, which suggests that the page you're getting is different from the one I'm getting.

I think our next step should be to set up a hangout so we can walk through the repro steps together.

Okay, we tracked this down, and the gumdrop icon is being spliced into the DOM by an extension, which isn't including any accessibility attributes. Closing this as WontFix.
