Screen reader a11y on macos. setting dir="rtl" on textarea

[a-alhusaini]

When using VoiceOver (the macos screen reader). It reads textarea tags perfectly, but the behaviour is incorrect when setting dir="rtl" to a textarea.

Expected behaviour: The screen reader reads the current line when I press up and down arrows Actual behaviour: The screen reader remains silent.

I believe this is a webview issue as the website version of my wails app doesn't have this issue.

This is my app. http://github.com/a-alhusaini/daarbnotes/

To reproduce the bug

• open the app.
• in the note body, write some text
• Click the dirswap button. Which swaps the dir on the textarea of the note body
• Now, when you press up and down arrow keys, the text is anounced aloud by VoiceOver.

Might be better to report it on Microsoft's webview2feedback repository if you think it's a webview bug 👍

I'm a little confused, I assumed the fork meant the code is different? Thus I reported it here.

This isn't a fork of Webview2, it's just a way to access it 👍

@leaanthony I couldn't quite figure out why this is happenning yet. Though, things work fine when I'm in dev mode and run my app through a browser. I tried edge, brave, and safari and they all work without the bug. It only happens when I use the app directly (without the browser). So, I'm not sure where the issue might be. Should I repost this in the wails repo
