live region text not read-out when placed other than bottom of a dialog in a desktop application

Steps to try:

  1. Go to https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
  2. Download recent Eclipse IBuild
  3. Create a new Java Project
  4. Create a new Java Class, with empty source folder
  5. JAWS doesn't read out the associated live region in the dialog which has message ("Source folder name is empty.")

Expected result

Similar to NVDA, JAWS should also be able to read out the live region label/text even if the associated Label is anywhere in a dialog.

Actual result

JAWS doesn't read out the live region label/text when it's not at the bottom of a dialog in Eclipse desktop application.
NVDA reads out the live region label/text.

Example

Example screenshot: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=287294
encircles the live region which is present on the top of a dialog in Eclipse desktop application.

Corresponding Eclipse bug link: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=520574

Tested with recent JAWS 2021

Windows 10

Desktop application: Eclipse which is free and open source can be downloaded from https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
