[orca-list] Erasing characters within a list in Gmail

[Nimer Jaber <nimerjaber1 gmail com>]

Hello,

I have discovered an issue wherein pressing backspace does not speak what has been erased while typing into a bulleted list in Gmail. To reproduce, do the following:

• With Orca enabled, open Firefox and navigate to Gmail.
• Make sure that standard mode is enabled, not basic HTML mode, and focus mode is sticky.
• Compose a new message or reply to an existing one.
• When focus is focused in the body, press ctrl+shift+8 to create a bulleted list.
• Type a few characters.
• Press backspace and observe what is verbalized.

Expected: It is expected that the erased character is announced.

Actual: Nothing is announced.

This occurs with Firefox stable and latest Orca master.
