NVDA doesn't bypass virtual navigation for read-only ARIA grids #5118

When an item in an ARIA grid receives focus the virtual navigation should be toggled off. In NVDA this is true for editable ARIA grids. However, if the grid has been marked as read only via aria-readonly=true then the virtual navigation remains on.

I raise this as an issue as for twitter.com we're rebuilding the timeline and we're going to express it as a single-column, read-only ARIA grid. The goal is to use this ARIA widget role in the interest of allowing the shortcuts for navigating the timeline (j & k) to automatically pass through once the timeline receives focus. This approach works great in JAWS, but not NVDA. I have attached an example.
