Also without invisible content, each node is output individually in Chrome and IE 11, even if it would be output as contiguous when read with arrow keys (e.g. span
elements without spaces):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>live region</title>
</head>
<body>
<div role=status id=1></div>
<button onClick="document.getElementById('1').innerHTML='<span>1</span><span>2</span><span>3</span>';">span</button>
</body>
</html>
Summary
Invisible contents in Live Region lead to reading pause (IE 11, Chrome)
Expected result
Invisible content (like HTML comments or hidden content) has no effect on the output of the Live Region (the output does not differ from the output when the content is read with the arrow keys)
Actual result
