Screen reader a11y on macos. setting dir="rtl" on textarea #31

Description

@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.
