Tab Navigation in Tables Announces Selection Changes in Word When Using UIA #12998

@Neurrone

Description

@Neurrone

Originally reported in #11956.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. With use of UIA enabled, create a table in word and enter some data. A 2x2 table suffices.
  2. Use tab to navigate between the cells in the table.

Actual behavior:

I'm navigating between a cell that has the text "account" in it, and the next cell has the text "balance". Here's the speech output when pressing tab.

column 2  Balance
Balance selected
Account unselected

The text that is no longer selected gets announced. The newly selected cell also gets read twice.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should speak the contents of the new cell, and the fact that the text got selected. For example, "column 2 Balance selected".
