Comment (by afercia):

 Tested a bit latest patch, now I remember why `class="paging-input"` was
 removed. With that additional span Chrome+ChromeVox won't announce "n of
 nn". Say you're in the first of three pages, JAWS and NVDA will announce
 something like this:
 {{{
 Current Page  edit  has auto complete  1 of 3
 }}}
 but ChromeVox won't announce `1 of 3`. That's weird but we've already
 noticed similar ChromeVox issues with `span`s in the past. With
 `32028.3.patch` ChromeVox gets it right and reads out everything. I'm not
 saying we should necessarily fix screen readers bugs. ChromeVox is known
 to have his quirks. I'm just saying that we should be aware this fix won't
 work in ChromeVox.
 If and only if  `class="paging-input"` is really not needed, and I don't
 see any reason to keep it but maybe I'm missing something, I'd say to use
 `32028.3.patch`. Otherwise OK for the latest patch, it is an improvement
 for most users anyways.
 This ticket is also blocking further improvements, see #32253 I'd would
 greatly appreciate to make a decision as soon as possible :)
