VoiceOver description when "First name" input has focus

If the focus is on any tabbable element within an element with role="button", VoiceOver reads the full content of the button element rather than describing the specific element with the focus. This occurs even if the element with the focus is a form element.

I've created a demo where you can replicate this: https://codepen.io/TrevorBurnham/pen/ZwaQBz

Chrome's behavior here makes more sense to me. In Chrome, VoiceOver correctly described the specific element that has the focus while noting that it's "within a button."

The real-world case that prompted this was a modal where the background (a DOM ancestor of the modal) could be clicked to close the modal, a fairly common interaction pattern on the web.
