Chromium-based browsers: buggy text navigation in multiline edit fields #9786

@MarcoZehe

Description

@MarcoZehe

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a Chromium-based browser, for example Chrome Version 75.0.3770.100, or MS Edge Dev version 77.
  2. Find a multiline text field, for example when creating a new issue in Github, and navigate by word or line.

Actual behavior:

Wrong lines are spoken when arrowing up and down, and wrong words are spoken when moving by word. Also, often, character positions are reported wrong, making editing a dangerous task with unpredictable results.

Expected behavior:

None of the above, editing should be normal.
