@arapte Thank you for doing this and attaching it. This matches what I see and is, I think, what Andy is seeing as well.

@koppor This clearly shows that the current version of the fix in this PR introduces a regression. You will need to fix it before we can continue the review. While testing and debugging this problem, use a manual program rather than a Robot-based automated test.

Speaking of tests, we cannot reliably test a11y using automated tests, so I wouldn't spend any more time trying to get your new `TextAreaTest_Narrator_8330462` test working. The automated test in this PR that verifies the correctness of the new `getEndIndex` method will have to do (along with manual testing of the a11y functionality). Once you figure out what the problem is with the `getEndIndex` method, you might want to add additional cases to your test.
