Allow Page Scrolling with Touch Screen When Chromevox Is Active

Reported by irismp...@gmail.com, Jan 12

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 11316.66.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/72.0.3626.49 Safari/537.36
Platform: ChromeOS

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. On a touch screen Chromebook, activate Chromevox.
2. Use two fingers to scroll up, down, or left and right through the page.
3. Instead of scrolling through the page as expected, Chromevox just highlights parts of text.

What is the expected behavior?
Chromevox should scroll smoothly through the page using these touch screen gestures.

What went wrong?
Chromevox just highlights parts of text instead of scrolling.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 72.0.3626.49  Channel: beta
OS Version: 11316.66.0
Flash Version: 

I'm aware that a two-finger flick up on the touch screen with Chromevox active will take you to the top of the page, and flicking down with the same gesture will read from the current point on the page.
Regardless, there should be a dedicated gesture for scrolling to enable blind users to use their Chromebooks in tablet mode or navigate via the touch screen.

ChromeVox doesn't behave in the same way as some other screen readers (e.g. TalkBack). Two finger gestures such as swipe down with two fingers are already dedicated to other commands. You can scroll by invoking the three finger swipe up or down. This will scroll by one screen.
