There are TableScroll's that in the case of JAWS only work if you tab into the table, which is really an ARIA Grid, then the scrolling usually takes place from the bottom. If in the case of JAWS you use the "t" command, you should be able to press enter to start the scrolling. There is a bug on this with Vispero. It should work that no matter how you get into the TableScroll, it should work much like NVDA.

Subject: [External] : Re: [WebAIM] Query regarding scrolling Issue when accessing webpage with browse mode

A screen reader createsw an off-screen model (aka virtual buffer) with the page content. In browse mode you are solely interacting with that content so you are not sending events to the webpage (not unless yuou do something in the virtual buffer that submits an event to the page, e.g. pressing the tab key to change the programmatic focus or interact with/click on an element).

There were ideas about a more interactive browse mode (e.g. the ARIA
1.1 proposed implementation of implementing a feed using the feed and article roles) but I believe that feature was never supported by screen reader vendors.
