Looked at this today. Tested out a few versions and found a lot of broken versions:

  • main (b7e537e5e) - broken
  • 1.15.1862.0 - broken
  • 1.15.2713.0 - broken
  • 1.15.3466.0 - broken
  • 1.14.1432.0 - broken

Tested with JAWS version 2022.2110.60.

I'll follow up with Alex Benoit (the one who reported these to me).
