Steps to reproduce:

1. Open excel 365
2. Focus a cell
3. Press shift+f10 or the applications key
4. Choose add note

Actual behavior:

NVDA returns nothing when invoking "add note" or it reports the name of the sheet. Focus seems to be lost entirely. It is not possible to read the contents of the note that's currently being added, nor the contents of the sheet when escaping out of the notes edit field.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should provide access to the note edit box and focus should track reliably when exiting the note edit box.
