Reproduction steps

Type text into a MDE textarea, possibly with new lines.
While any screen reader is on, such as NVDA for Windows, VoiceOver on Mac or iOS, use the arrow keys to navigate around.

Result: The textarea is often detected as being empty, characters are not announced while the cursor moves.

Expected result: lines and characters are announced as the cursor moves.

Version information

Browser type and version: any SimpleMDE version: any

This might be a codemirror issue. Will have to look into it.
