JAWS does not announce a <td> element with "contenteditable" attribute as editable

[sarasuri]

Summary

JAWS does not identify the <td> element with the "contenteditable" attribute as editable. Instead, it only speakes the content within the table cell without indicating that it is editable. However, JAWS properly recognizes and announces the "contenteditable" attribute when applied to "<p>" or "<div>" element.

Expected result

JAWS should announce a table cell "<td>" with the "contenteditable" attribute as editable.

Actual result

JAWS only reads the content within the table cell and does not indicate that it is editable.

Example

<table width="100%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <th scope="col">Test 1</th>
    <th scope="col">Test 2</th>
    </tr>
  <tr>
  <td contenteditable="true">134</td>
    <td contenteditable="true">542</td>
  </tr>
</table>

triaged, no announcement in JAWS 2024.2406.121 chrome Version 127.0.6533.101

NVDA announces as multiline edit when focused

[stevefaulkner]

The <td> is exposed via acc API as editable in chrome, Same as a <p> is, via editable property with a value of richtext

But JAWS does not indicate <td> is editable. It would also be useful to indicate it is multiline as NVDA does
