Description

Unable to move to the previous / next rows using the table navigation command with JAWS

When we use the table navigation commands i.e. control + alt +Up / down Arrow keys, We are unable to move to the previous / next row.

Note: It works fine when we are in the first column. The issue happens from the second column onwards.
Note: This issue is observed in "expansion" and Batch Expansion variants as well.

Recommended Fix

User should be able to navigate through the table Rows using the table navigation commands.

When the standard keyboard navigation method is not supported, it impacts the user’s ability to interact with page controls. This affects screen reader users.
