I can confirm this. Furthermore, you can't even rightArrow onto the next character, the cursor doesn't move from the "A" of the word "At".

If someone could test to see if Jaws has the same problem, we can figure out if this is an NVDA or Chrome bug. Chrome may have disabled the cursor from moving in read-only fields.

The issue exists also for contenteditable

<label for="wup5">
    <span contenteditable="true" role="textbox" aria-labelledby="wup5" style="white-space: pre-wrap">
      there is multiline text
      placed in contenteditable
    </span>
    <strong id="wup5">Test NVDA</strong>
</label>

Expected: NVDA reads all content including there is multiline text \n placed in contenteditable Actual: NVDA reads only first line there is multiline text
