Tabbing backwards does not announce aria-describedby

Project Member Reported by cltang@google.com, Nov 22 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 54.0.2840.98
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 5:
  Firefox 4.x:
     IE 7/8/9:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Shift-tab to move focus to an element that has aria-describedby set.
2. Note what is announced by ChromeVox.

What is the expected result?
The aria-describedby element gets announced aloud consistently, whether you are tabbing forward or backward.

What happens instead of that?
The aria label gets read but not its associated aria-describedby. When tabbing forward (ie just "Tab"), the aria-describedby does get used.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

This does not repro in ChromeVox Next.

Sorry, I can't share the one I reproed on. Should be simple to create one though.

Sorry but the older version of Chromevox (known as Chromevox Classic) is no longer supported. Please switch to Chromevox Next or use Voiceover. Please note that Chromevox Next works best on a Chrome OS device.
