VoiceOver doesn't read equations in Google Sheets?

Is anyone using Google Sheets in Safari on Mac? If so, how do you edit an equation or formula in a cell?

When I press enter on a cell with an equation, right and left arrow moves my cursor through the equation, according to my sighted spouse. But VoiceOver is completely silent.

The only workaround I have found is
- Press enter to start editing.
- Command+Shift+Right Arrow to select the entire equation.
- Paste the equation into any editor and make any changes.
- Copy and paste the modified equation back into the spreadsheet cell.

I hope someone else can come up with a better workaround. If so, please share. Thanks.
