Skype app/message history: shortened message entry must stay on a braille display

[josephsl]

Hi,

Reported by @jcsteh:

In Skype app's message history list, when reportFocus is invoked on message items, braille times out.

STR:

1. Run Skype UWP and go to a conversation.
2. Tab to message history.
3. Press Shift+TAB to go to Add People button, then press TAB.
4. Scroll through the message history with a braille display connected.

Expected: shortened message item should remain on the braille display no matter what.
Actual: message item disappears from the display after a timeout.
Cause: use of ui.message.
Short-term solution: do something about obj.name.
Long-term solution: UIA tree must be modified to expose all parts of a message item such as sender's name even if the message was sent by the user (currently it isn't).

Thanks.
