Windows PWA: The accessible title of the app is the user's profile name

Project Member Reported by mgiuca@chromium.org, Aug 21

Issue description

Chrome Version: 70
OS: Windows

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Install a PWA.
(2) Open it.
(3) Somehow find the accessible title? (Not sure how)

What is the expected result?
Accessible title is the user's profile name.

According to dsexton in https://crbug.com/853574#c7

What happens instead?
Should be the app name.

David: Can you provide instructions on how to repro this on Windows (like, how do you find out what the accessible name is of a window)?
 
I'm seeing a flaky experience on Windows re profile names.

I created two profiles, one called "Bark Bark", and installed soft-puppy.glitch.me. When I open the app window I get one of:
 - Soft Puppy
 - Bar-Soft Puppy
 - Bark Bark, Soft Puppy

Reading out the profile name seems to be racing with the page title loading.

If there's only one profile it tries to say "desktop 1" (I have two monitors) instead of "bark bark" but again gets cut short by the page title.

The only time it's said nothing for opening an app window is when the page title hasn't been set, we should probably read out the app name in that case...

# With NVDA installed and running ( https://www.nvaccess.org/download/ ), open an app
# press insert+t to check the window title

Expected: App name - profile name

Actual: - profile name
dmazzoni@ can you give more info re accessible title?

Currently unable to repro on ToT. I've installed NVDA on Windows 10 and tested it out with one and two profiles.

When pressing Insert-T with a PWA window open I get:
For one profile: Window title.
For two profiles: Window title, profile name.
Which site is being used for testing? The best site to use is probably http://killer-marmot.appspot.com/web as it has a static page title that won't jump around like Santa Tracker.
I assume they are using https://santatracker.google.com/ since that's what I told them in the AX review. That does change its title a lot while loading (so in that case, we can't help it if there's a race condition. We should just make sure it is stable for sites that don't change their title after the HTML loads.
@David, could you please take a look at the experience on http://killer-marmot.appspot.com/web and let us know if it is still reproducing? 
Title seems to be fine in the test app.

It is then up to the app developer to get the title right and it is not an issue of PWAs
