  1. Narrator issues with typing words on keyboard.


    When narrator is turned on and follow mouse is selected, when I type words, the word I am typing goes before the word previously typed. So if I wanted to type “my name is Bill” it now says ‘Bill is name my”. If I deselect the mouse follow it is fine, but now it reads the entire sentence, not just the last word I typed. Which as you can imagine is a tad annoying and adds a significant amount of time to typing each sentence. Was not this way a month ago. Also, when using arrow keys, the cursor does not go to end of last line, rather goes up to somewhere in the above sentence, making it diff

    Narrator cause mention pop out feature doesn't work correctly

    Hi, currently I have encounter an issue that with Narrator turn on, the website @ mention feature is unable to work correctly.
    This issue also able to reproduce in microsoft team web version (https://teams.microsoft.com/), google sheet and etc.

    Step to reproduce:
    1. Open narrator
    2. Open microsoft team in web version
    3. In any group chat, type '@'.

    4. A suggestion list will popup.

    5. Unable to continue key in any text to filter the suggestion list. Narrator will voice 'unavailable' upon key press.

    p/s: It seems like Narrator will auto focus on the popup suggestion list option which have been implemented with aria-selected='true' and cause the input key no longer working.

    Kindly let me know if there is any suggestion or finding on the issue above. Thanks.
