Alt text not being read by aria-live region
Summary
The alt text of an image html tag is not being read in an aria-live region.
Here is one way to reproduce this:
- Start with a div html tag with aria-live attribute
- insert an image tag into the div with alt text. This can be done with a button
- notice that the alt text for the image is not being read
Expected result
I expect the alt text to be read for an image html tag in an aria-live region.
Actual result
The alt text for an image html tag is not read in an aria-live region.
Example

In the example above, I expect the alt tag and div content in the aria-live region to be read after the button is clicked. -> "this is my alt text" "this is my div message"
The actual result only reads the div content in the aria-live region after the button is clicked. -> "this is my div message"
