<div>s too often ignored in accessibility tree leading to JAWS virtual buffer issues

Project Member Reported by aleventhal@chromium.org, Sep 12

Issue description

Something like this is ignores the parent div:
  <div class="parent">
    <label style="display:flex; flex-direction:row;">
      Flex row layout
    </label>
  </div>

However, Firefox does not ignore this div. This leads to differences in what's available in the JAWS virtual buffer.

@dmazzoni suggested there are better APIs for screen readers to use when it comes to understanding line breaks. We may not want to change anything here.
