Currently,

1. NVDA will detect the presence of the APPLICATION and DOCUMENT roles but only when virtual buffer is completely turned off, i.e. with INSERT+SPACE keystroke.
2. NVDA will ignore ARIA roles of APPLICATION and DOCUMENT when virtual buffer is turned on, i.e. when the user is in "browse" or "focus" mode.
3. When the roles above are detected, NVDA does not toggle virtual buffer, i.e. "on" for role=application and "off" for role=document.

I am attaching a farily simple HTML document that will hopefully demonstrate the behavior described above. Please note: in this example the roles of APPLICATION and DOCUMENT are set on the specific regions of the page.
