ChromeVox: Text of Javascript Alert not read

Reported by bennikl...@aon.at, May 18 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to https://jsfiddle.net/vt946h4y/
2. Activate ChromeVox
3. Press on the "Play button" on the upper left corner
4. Alert pops up and ChromeVox reads:
"OK, button. An embedded page at ... says: Dialog. An embedded page at ... says: Window. An embedded page at ... says: Window"
5. ChromeVox does not read anything more, Keys like <Tab> or <ChromeVox + Arrow keys don't do anything"

What is the expected behavior?
at 4) I would expect ChromeVox to read something like:
"Dialog popped up. Text: 'Hello ChromeVox, please read this!'. Ok, Button."

at 5) i would expect that:
<Tab> or <ChromeVox + Arrow Keys> re-read the text above.

What went wrong?
ChromeVox does not read text of javascript alert, see above.

Did this work before? N/A

Able to reproduce the issue on reported chrome version 66.0.3359.139 and on latest chrome 68.0.3436.0 using Windows 10, Ubuntu 17.10.

Note: Chromevox unable to read the popup text On Mac 10.13.3 
 
Same behavior is seen on M60(60.0.3112.113) hence considering it as non-regression and marking it as Untriaged.

Thanks!

Looks like you're using ChromeVox the extension. We're not fixing these types of bugs as we recommend using the platform screen reader.
