JAWS does not read the contents of tab-modal dialogs when they appear

Project Member Reported by lprazdnik@chromium.org, Jun 1 2018

Issue description

Version 69.0.3447.3 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Version 68.0.3440.7 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
JAWS Version 2018.1805.33 ILM
NVDA version 2018.1.1
Windows version 1709 (OS Build 16299.431) 
Steps:
1. Launch JAWS.
2. Launch any of above versions of Chrome
3. Navigate to any page with an edit area, such as http://www.google.com
4. Navigate to the edit box, and press applications key or shift+F10 to open context menu.
5. Use arrow keys to find spellcheck menu, then press right and select ‘Ask Google for suggestions’.
Expected: JAWS should read the contents of the dialog describing the feature.
Actual: JAWS reads the title of the dialog, then announces the first button in focus.

Notes:
Reproduces in Canary and Dev
Reproduces with JAWS, does not reproduce with NVDA.
The current workaround is to invoke the read dialog and controls command (JAWS key +B).

 Issue 849910  has been merged into this issue.
Summary: JAWS does not read the contents of tab-modal dialogs when they appear (was: JAWS does not automatically read the contents of the ask Google for suggestions dialog)
This needs to be fixed for (at least) all tab-modal dialogs. These include (not comprehensive):
- Resubmit form
- HTTP Auth
- JS Alert
- Sign in
- Credit card CVC confirmation
- Cookies (security chip > cookies)
- share your screen
- create shortcut
- Add extension (via a page, not webstore)
- Print
- Cast
- Review payment
- WebAuthN

JAWS+B reads the contents of the dialog; it should be read when it first appears.
