Greetings. I’m here to report an issue with navigation using a screen reader. The problem has been occurring for a while, but it’s only now that I have time to report it.
Steps to reproduce
I have a sentence with several words separated by commas or periods. For example:
One, Two, Three, Four.
Expected result
What I expect is that as I press Control plus Right Arrow, it reads “one,” then “two,” then “three”…, then four.
Actual result
What actually happens is that as I press Control plus Right Arrow, it only reads the commas and point. comma, comma, comma, coma…

Additional information
The problem occurs also in sandbox mode.
One possible solution would be to always place the cursor at the beginning of each word, not at the end, so the reader will always read the word, not the comma or period at the end of the word.
The issue doesn’t occur when reading from left to right, where it reads the comma first and then the word correctly (four, coma, three, coma, two, coma, one…). This indicates that the problem is related to the cursor’s location.
