Video of VO nav of contenteditable list and standard list in Safari

Vanilla list structure does not get communicated within `contenteditable` areas.

Reproduction Steps:
1. Turn on VoiceOver
2. Go to https://codepen.io/spanage/pen/XWYZmWe
3. Navigate to the first area using VO.
4. VOKeys + Shift + Down Arrow into Area 1 and use VOKeys + Right arrow to navigate thru the contents. Notice the list is read, "bullet coffee, bullet tea, white bullet black" etc.
5. Navigate to the second area using VO.
6. VOKeys + Shift + Down Arrow into Area 1 and use VOKeys + Right arrow to navigate thru the contents. Notice that VO handle the list as expected, reporting items counts, level, etc.

Expected: VO indicates list information in contenteditable areas as it does in on Chrome using either JAWS or NVDA version is 2022.3.2.

Note: Using aria-owns to convey list structure also fails -- see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241694

Attached - video of bug repro on:
Safari Version 16.1 (17614.2.9.1.13, 17614)
MacOS 12.6.1 (21G217)

This also repros on the Ventura Beta.

Impact: Quip product relies on contenteditable areas for the majority of its editor experience.

The cause of this bug was outside of the WebKit project, so resolving as MOVED.

The relevant team is working on this issue under <rdar://problem/102585862>.

We believe this fix shipped with macOS Ventura 13.4.

Comment 4 Ben Cronin 2023-06-11 17:44:11 PDT

I just tested out the test page (https://codepen.io/spanage/pen/XWYZmWe) on MacOS 13.4, using both Chrome and Safari, and I am not seeing the correct behavior. When the caret moves through text in the `contenteditable` region, list structure is not announced.

Comment 5 Ben Cronin 2023-06-11 17:47:02 PDT

Oh wait, I guess the initial bug report technically did not specify movement with the caret. I guess I'll need to open another issue for that :/
