Re: Data table, forms vs content mode

Hello,

This is probably a bug in NVDA. NVDA should make the chirp for entering in
edit mode.



This is also an UX problem. No blind person would ever want to tab through
a table (yes, screen reader users have a user experience). There should be
WCAG for sighted users, then devs like this can see what a different
interpretations of a standard without UX can feel like.



Table cells don't have tabindex by default and there is a reason for this.

Thanks,
