Re: Tables with Header cells in the second column, not the first

So I used the Insert + Space, followed by T to enter the table layer. I then used the arrow keys to navigate the table. As experienced before, the row header is not announced for cells to the left of the <th> cell. Additionally, removing the scope="row" degraded things such that the cells to the right of the <th> also did not identify the row header.

It's looking like this is a limitation of jaws. I'm curious to see how NVDA responds.

Thanks all for your help and tips.

Jesse

Its only only read that information to me as I move around in table mode. If
I say speak current cell it should only read the content I think what
