Thunderbird: Orca reads previous line when going on a blank one
Hello,
Environment:
- Debian 10
- THunderbird Daily
- Orca master
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Thunderbird and write a new message (it doesn't matter if it is a HTML or text, the issue appear in both)
- Type "I do a test" then enter to write a new line
- Go up and delete the o character
- Press down arrow
Result: Orca announces "I do a test".
Expected result: Orca should announce blank line.
The issue doesn't appear with Orca 3.34 and appears with the tag ORCA_3_36_1 and ORCA_3_36_0.
The culprit commit is:

Fix bug causing some contenteditable text deletions to be ignored
If the event wasn't for the locusOfFocus or a descendant thereof, we were
ignoring it. We cannot count on this being the case in contenteditable
content.
Best regards.
