VoiceOver refreshes constantly on some pages

Project Member Reported by dmazz...@chromium.org, Aug 15 2016

Issue description

When loading some pages with Mac OS X 10.11 and VoiceOver on, Chrome refreshes constantly. Example url that seems to trigger it a lot:

http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/11/10970876/twitter-os-x-update-safari-browser-bug-fix

I think the problem is Chrome's code to refresh the page when we see a new live region. This was necessary to work around issues in older OS X versions but seems to make things worse in new versions.

Let's see if switching to "live region created" notifications fixes it.

How is this change looking in Canary? Will it be a safe merge to M53? We're cutting M53 Stable RC today so we can take this change in if all looks good in Canary otherwise it will have to wait for next stable refresh if any (by then it will be baked in Beta too).
Fix appears to work fine in Canary.
1. I tested manually.
2. I haven't heard any user complaints which would usually come in loud and fast if something is wrong.
Having said that, I want to test with M53 manually. What's the best way to do that?
Fix has to be merged to M53, then we need to trigger new M53 build for testing.

Approving merge to M53 branch 2785 based on comment #12 and per chat with nektar@. He will manually verify the change on M53 once build is ready with fix merged.

Tried to verify the issue on Mac 10.11.6 using 54.0.2840.15 and 53.0.2785.101.

nektar@ : There is a little difference when compared to last stable 52.0.2743.116.
But not so sure if its fine, could you please review the attaches screen cast of 53.0.2785.101 and confirm.

nektar@, could you please check and confirm c#16? I am seeing the same behavior on Win7 64-bit OS for Canary#55.0.2853.0.

Thank you!
The behavior in the video is fine. However, in order to trigger the bug you have to interact with the HTML contents. Right after navigating to the page:
1. Ctrl-Option-Cmd-right to get to the end of the window where the HTML contents are.
2. Ctrl-option-shift-down to interact with the HTML contents.

Tab is not always reliable on the Mac. Ctrl-option-left and ctrl-option-right are the Voiceover navigation keys.

Is there a link to the M53 build I could install?

Fixed verified manually with M53 stable.
You may go ahead.
