    Description

      QLineEdit and QTextEdit doesn't work with screen reading software.
      Screen reader won't read characters and words.
      By pressing arrow keys it is silent.

      Note that this works when using NVDA. This is because NVDA is interfacing with our IAccessible2 interfaces.

      However, MS Narrator (Windows 7 and later) uses UI Automation.

      We probably need to implement a UI Automation bridge in order to get this working.
