Dear all,

After moving the caret on a line with the down arrow key, all the previous
lines no longer emit a caret-moved event.
The caret-moved event is used by screen readers to announce the text on the
screen to the blind user, so if this event isn't emitted it is not possible to
read any text.
The issue is confirmed by the Orca (screen reader) community :
