Summary

On Firefox, JAWS doesn't read live regions (with aria-live="polite" or assertive or with role="status") when there is an aria-atomic="true" attribute. If I remove the attribute, the live region is read.

It works correctly with Chrome.

Expected result

I expect JAWS reading the live region.

Actual result

JAWS doesn't read live regions (with aria-live="polite" or assertive or with role="status") when there is an aria-atomic="true" attribute.

Example

It can be tested on this CodePen example.
