ag-grid and NVDA usability

Hi Everyone,

A team in our project has tried to implement a table using open-source
library ag-grid for Angular. Among various other issues I found a very
strange issue when using it with NVDA on Chrome.

The library provides search, sort and pagination capabilities among others.
From the search field when I press tab key to land into the table, the NVDA
remains in focus mode only. On subsequent tabs I am able to go through all
the cells, whether interactive or not.

Table shortcuts do not work in the table until I switch to browser mode.
Also in browse mode the data appears just as it was in an unsorted state
even if the sort is applied.

With JAWS the behaviour is much better and near to the expected.

Has anyone successfully implemented an accessible table using this sort of
library.

Also a question from SC perspective. Does the strange behaviour with NVDA
stand for any SC failure?

Thanks,
Vaibhav
