Investigate why JAWS and NVDA have odd interaction with editable label #6096

Describe the issue. What is the expected and unexpected behavior?
When using JAWS and NVDA, they require two enter key presses in order to interact with the editable label. I'm curious why this is happening, and if there is a way to make it simpler/more straight forward for users. I worry that screen reader users wouldn't think to press the key twice to interact with it.

My current theory is that perhaps screen readers are opening up a different mode (like forms mode) when pressing enter initially and then they have to press it again to get the interaction. Not sure how to get around this yet.

Is this a bug or enhancement? If this issue is a bug, is this issue blocking you or is there a work-around?
Could be argued as either. Technically it's accessible so you could argue that this is an enhancement, but I think that users who come across this would think it's a bug.
