Mac a11y: Partial announcements while typing in <input> and other text

Project Member Reported by tapted@chromium.org, Jun 27 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 61.0.3141.0
OS Version: OS X 10.12.5

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Turn on voiceover and type in an <input> field or <textarea>

1a. Navigate, e.g., with Command + Left/Right arrows (home/end)

What is the expected result?

VoiceOver should announce each letter as it is typed.


What happens instead of that?

No announcements while typing. Note this is similar to   Issue 657890   (MacViews bug).


This works in Canary when I tried it on macOS 10.10.

Also cursor navigation with just Left/Right arrow keys correctly reads out the neighbouring character. Selection highlight with the mouse cursor works. And navigating word-by-word with Alt+Arrow works. 


I suspect it's some conflict with the TextMarker stuff used for navigating more complex web content. (Fixing the similar problem in MacViews didn't require TextMarkers).

nektar@, handing this one over to you, since I know you are fixing text editing and navigation :)

Patch LGTMed and will land in another bug that is a duplicate of this one.
