[Blindmath] NVDA - chrome - gmail editor problems

[Amanda Lacy]

First, I have had no success using Google Chrome under any screen reader. If 
anyone has I'd be interested to hear about it. Second, when NVDA is turned 
on and you are trying to type into an edit box, you must hit space to get 
NVDA into edit mode. Otherwise it will behave similarly to what you 
described.
