ChromeVox doesn't respect typing echo settings in Gmail editor

Reported by st...@sawczyn.com, Oct 9 2016

Issue description

I have ChromeVox set to echo words when typing.  This setting seems to hold in most web forms, but not the Gmail editor.  In Gmail, parts of words are spoken as I type not just as words are completed.  To replicate:
1. open Gmail and compose a new message.
2. Set typing echo to words by pressing ChromeVox a followed by t.  
3. Begin typing the body of the message.  Despite the setting, you will hear portions of words being spoken as you type.

Mode: force_next
Version: 55.0.2878.0
Reproduction Steps: 
1.
2.
3.

I wonder if these are the auto-correct/suggestions that are being uttered? I've observed this as well when typing quickly with no typing echo.

Hmm, an interesting idea, but what's announced is the partial words that I type.  The setting seems to work fine on web pages, just not the Google editor.  As I write this comment, I opened another window to a Google Doc and find that in there, characters are always echoed regardless of how echo is set.  I realize that's another issue, but the common denominator, at least for now, are the Google rich editors.

The control is a content editable, which other richtext editors use as well.

FYI; this is a blink level issue. Typing rapidly triggers text selection changes on more than the character (e.g. typing "test" fast, we get one event for the text change "test"). Note that this occurred in Classic as well and was work around by implementing key echo (which is different than character echo).

I believe this issue has been fixed since the move over to rich text editing. Please speak up if you still see this issue.
