ChromeVox unable to read Gmail conversations, keyboard focus separated from CV focus

Project Member Reported by leberly@chromium.org, Sep 25

Issue description

Google Chrome	69.0.3497.95 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Firmware Version	Google_Eve.9584.160.0

# Launch ChromeVox with ctrl + alt + z
# Load Gmail
# Navigate into any email conversation with multiple replies in line
# Use tab or linear navigation to read down the list of email. 
Expected: ChromeVox reads text in focus
Actual: keyboard focus separates from ChromeVox focus. ChromeVox orange highlight stays in one place on the screen while the arrow keys move the underlying focus up and down the list visually. 
 
This might be another bug but strange behavior happens while ChromeVox is in this state where focus is not moving. ChromeVox starts to double all keypresses as seen in this sentence I tried typing: 

TThhiiss  mmiigghhtt  bbee  aannootthheerr  bbuugg  bbuutt  ssttrraannee  bbeehhaavviioorr  hhaappppens aa

This includes ctrl + alt + z, you hear the earcon for turning off/on twice and ChromeVox can't be shut off. After a few seconds, ChromeVox starts to catch up with itself, the top ChromeVox bar appears, keystrokes are no longer duplicated, and you can turn off ChromeVox. 
Does not reproduce in M71 in other machines.
