1628241 - When traversing to a table with VoiceOver, VoiceOver immediately lands on the first cell.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P3)

STR:

1. Go to https://a11ysupport.io/tech/aria/aria-current_attribute.
2. Go to the first table with VoiceOver. The quickest way is to press CTRL+Option+Cmd+T.
   • Expected: VoiceOver says Table, followed by the caption, and the column and row count.
   • Actual: VoiceOver speaks that, but also that focus is on the first cell.

Doing the same in Safari gives an extra stop for the table element itself before CTRL+Option+RightArrow takes the user to the first actual cell in the table.

Eitan, I wasn't sure about the priority for this one, if it should be in 27 or later. It is not a regression, it has behaved like this since I started testing. Feel free to adjust.

I can't reproduce this. It speaks the table info. When I press VO+right it jumps to the econd column header. I wonder if that is the same bug?

Comment 3

Yep. The announcement seems to vary a bit, sometimes on my machine it speaks both the table info followed by the first column, but the next VO+RightArrow definitely always takes me to the second column.

Marco since bug 1628236 was fixed, do you still see this issue? I don't.

Confirmed that this is fixed by bug 1628236.
