table browsing does not work as described

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter a table, for example the one in the ChromeVox tutorial
2. Use the arrow keys to browse the table

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Right and left move between column content and up and down move between content 
in cells in a row. 

Instead, right and left arrow keys move between column content but there is no 
announcement of the end of a row. You move on to the next row, first column 
without any indication that you have moved to a new row. Row navigation via up 
and down arrow is also broken. Up or down treats the entire row as a group. 
Hitting a down arrow for example reads the entirety of the following row, left 
to right, with no pauses. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Chrome Version 31.0.1650.57 m
ChromeVox  1.31.0
Windows 8.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Don't know if it is a planned feature, but some announcement of table headers 
during row/column changes ought to be implemented. In addition, support of 
scope and headers-id associations should also be supported.

From the original poster: I have found more buggy behavior. 

Examples: ChromeVox can navigate to a table using ChromeVox + t, but then if I 
am on the table and try to read a header (CV + t + h) or exit table browsing 
mode (CV + t + e) or go to the end of a row or any other table command, CV 
announces that I am "not inside table."

In addition, appears not to support reading the table summary attribute and 
does not expand abbr tags used in table header cells.

Change to previous bug report: After locating the table browsing information in 
the user guide, I see that the row by row down arrow and cell by cell l/r arrow 
controls are expected behaviors. 

Another couple of pages that I tested on (same behaviors):

I found this bug because I was having the same problem - i knew i was inside a 
table but ChromeVox said "not inside table", and searching google for 
'chromevox "not inside table"' only returned three results.  When I re-read the 
keyboard shortcuts at http://www.chromevox.com/keyboard_shortcuts.html I found 
that "ChromeVox + Back slash" enables Table Mode.  
I suggest the action from this issue be to change the "not inside table" 
message to something more helpful like "enable table mode to navigate tables".
