Use the left and right arrow keys to move character-by-character in and out of the start and end of the expression
Observe that:
a. Not all keypresses result in audio being produced
b. The first character of the expression is not spoken when navigating into the expression from the left.
c. The first character of text after the expression will not be spoken when navigating past it from either direction
Expected Behavior:
When navigating character by character with a screen reader, each press of the left or right arrow keys should result in some audio being produced. Also, text characters and other content should be reliably spoken when navigating over it.
Observed Behavior:
Not all left-arrow or right-arrow keypresses result in audio being produced. Some content that is present in the document is not spoken when navigating over it character-by-character.

I was able to verify that this issue does exist with JAWS. I however found that NVDA will read the equation (along with the x at the beginning) but not the l in last after the equation going backwards. Upon review, NVDA has an additional setting:
"Navigation speech to use when beginning to navigate an equation: Speak" that JAWS does not. This causes NVDA to speak the whole equation out first, while leaving your cursor in its position, allowing you to use your right arrow to read character by character afterwards.
