Review cursor in console does not move as expected in NVDA 2019.3beta1 #10618

Description

@CyrilleB79

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open Windows console (cmd)
  • Press Numpad8 to read current line
    You can hear "C:\Users\myLogin>"
  • Press Numpad4 many times to go back word by word
    You can hear successfully ":\User", "blank", " réservés"
    Note: on my French Windows the non empty line before the prompt is the following:
    (c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.
  • Press Numpad6 to go forward word by word
    You are stuck on "" réservés" word

Note : playing with word by word and line by line navigation, you will find many other navigation issues. I do not list them all here.

Actual behavior:

  • The "c:" word was skipped
  • Going forward you are stuck at end of line.

Expected behavior:

Navigation with review cursor should behave in UIA Console as it did in legacy. This means:

  • No word should be skipped when navigating by word
  • Pressing Numpad4 and then Numpad6 should perform symmetrical actions, i.e. Numpad6 after Numpad4 should turn back to current reviewed word
  • Idem with Numpad7 and Numpad9
  • After having navigated line by line, pressing Numpad6 says "bottom" even if it is not the last line. This should not happen.
  • etc.

As an alternative if this cannot be fixed, UIA should not be activated by default in console.
