Issue repros with JAWS 2023.2212.23.

I took a look at this and I'm seeing A LOT of events from JAWS, so that makes it a bit difficult to track. Uploading here so that I don't have to do it again.

GetSelection() is operating as expected, along with the other UIA APIs, it seems. I'm betting that this is another manifestation of #13447. So I'm suspecting JAWS gets the selection changed event and does a bunch of UIA calls to figure out what to present. At the end of the day, it ends up presenting the wrong character.

Only thing I can suggest here is that JAWS either changes their implementation or we see if this gets fixed alongside #13447. And unfortunately, if JAWS changes their implementation, there's no promise that it'll still work when #13447 is fixed.

I'm keeping this open but I don't think there's much we can do here (at least in the short-term).
