Chromium only emits the correct accessibility events when a composition based language is used e.g. chinese which prevents windows magnifier focus from focussing on the text insertion cursor

Reported by dn4...@gmail.com, Sep 23 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Start windows magnifier and make sure that follow the text cursor is selected under magnifier options1. 
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
Zoom in when typing on a text field, When the cursor gets out of the zoomed in view port the view port doesn't move with the cursor as it should.  Strangely when a composition-based language such as chinese is used chromium emits the correct accessibility events and magnifier is able to follow the text insertion cursor

What went wrong?
i'm a low vision user so now everytime I zoom in on a text field/type I have to move along with the mouse otherwise I won't be able to see what i'm typing as magnifier doesn't receive the expected accessibility events.

Did this work before? N/A

Thanks @pnangunoori@chromium.org, very glad this is finally getting addressed as this has  been an issue for years and it affects not only Chrome but also other apps e.g. vsCode...
