Read aloud skips segments on Safari

[DuncanDHall]

Description

On Safari, when a read aloud session is live and a user clicks the button to skip ahead ~10 seconds, the highlight bumps to the next segment, the reader starts reading it, then the highlight jumps ahead one more segment. This means that when skipping, the reader is no longer reading the highlighted section, but the one before.

When the reader gets to the end of its section, it starts the next, and the highlighted section jumps forward again so it is constantly ahead.

Consecutive clicks of the skip ahead button result in the reader starting to read only every other segment.
