Powerpoint: editing text in placeholders is broken in NVDA alpha-20097,6a573cd9 #11094

Description

@Adriani90

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Powerpoint 365, 2016 or 2010
  2. With NVDA running, press tab until you hear "title placeholder"
  3. Press enter and type "hello"
  4. Press arrow keys, enter or delete key

Actual behavior:

You cannot navigate the text at all, NVDA throws errors. Only using backspace to delete the text will tell you what you have written.
Following error is in the log:

KeyError: 'reportSuperscriptAndSubscript'

Expected behavior:

No errors and the editing should work like before.
cc: @lukaszgo1, @codeofdusk, @feerrenrut I don't know if this is related to the recent PRs, but report superscript and subscript is disabled in document formating settings.
