STR:

  1. Open https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/saturn/in-depth/
  2. Switch to Reader View
  3. Narrate the first paragraph
  4. Wait until the "It is not the only planet to" part
  5. After the narrating the delayed "have", the word highlighting will advance a word after the actual narration.

I'm guessing this is caused by the fact that the "have" is in a <i> separating two <span>s.
Extracting the text out of the <span>s fixes this, and also makes the narration speak the paragraph without interruption on the "have" word.

Yeah, this is to do with the paragraph detection in Narrator.jsm . I looked into it a bit but it's not obvious to me how to fix this without rewriting the node selection completely...
