    Description

      A focused WebEngineView prevents screen reader from reading current context in a Qt QML application.

      Attached is a quite minimal example with two tabs. Keyboard focus is set on them when becoming visible. Keyboard moving between tabs happens with Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2.

      First tab contains a button in a pane. When it gets focus, the pane is read out before the button.

      Second tab contains a WebEngineView. When it gets focus, the pane is NOT read out. If one changes WebEngineView with a Button, the pane is read out normally.
