JAWS does not correctly read commas in placeholder text #801

Summary

When a comma is present in the placeholder of an input field that has an associated label, the comma is read aloud as "backslash".

You can also reproduce with following simple example:
<label for="test">Name</label><br> <input type="text" id="test" placeholder="before,after">

JAWS reads this as "before backslash after".

I've noticed that JAWS reads the placeholder correctly without the presence of the label.

Expected result

JAWS should read the text with a slight pause where the comma is placed.

Actual result

JAWS reads the comma as "backslash".

Example

Aside from my example above, I found a stackoverflow page where someone reports the same issue with a code example you can test over:
