JAWS, aria-live and aria-atomic

Has anyone seen the following? I have a Span that contains an input field and an adjacent inner span. The inner span contains a percent sign. The outer span has aria-atomic=true and aria-live=polite. In NVDA and Voiceover all changes to the input field are announced (politely) along with the percentage sign. Jaws 2020 ignores the percentage sign despite the aria-atomic. I'm using Chrome for this test. I don't care about IE or Edge.
Is this a known bug?
Thx.
