Not detecting new <article> added to role="feed"
Summary
JAWS is not allowing navigation to items dynamically added to a role="feed".
- Go to https://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/examples/feed/feedDisplay.html
- Use arrow down or tab to navigate past the "Backyard Grill"
<article>
Expected result
JAWS navigates to to the next <article> in the feed.
Actual result
JAWS speaks that it is the end of the main region. Tab will exit the webpage and take you to the browser chrome.
This is true for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
In IE11, it works as expected.

In Firefox v100 and Chrome/Edge v101 and JAWS 2022.220420 this system appears to respond as you describe. I was able to see additional articles when using the VPC and when tabbing. There might be an issue still when navigating by "article" as can be done with the quicknav "o" key. Please review if you are still seeing an issue.
I'm getting mixed results, but neither of them expected.
From the "Backyard Grill" article, the next Tab or down-arrow either announces "Main region end", or it cycles the cursor back to the top of the application Window, but it never navigates to the next article.
That seems to depend on navigation speed. If I press the keys discretely, then the cursor cycles round, but if I hold down the key so it repeats rapidly, then it stops at the end of the main region.
So I'm guessing there's some kind of timing or latency issue going on.
This is using JAWS 2023.230737 with Firefox 118 and Chrome 117 on Windows 11.
