Re: Voiceover with Table

Hi Sumit,

End of row is announced as you are interacting with the row. When you
are interacting with the row the mentioned behavior is expected and
not a bug. You should use VO + Left, Right Arrow keys to move between
the cells in a row and VO + Up, Down Arrow keys to move between the
cells on different rows.

For example, we screen reader users will interact with the row if we
need to read the spelling of a word within a cell.

Best Regards
Priti Rohra
