A11Y - Make tables readable to screen readers

General Table issues:

[ ] Make sure no Table Headers gets announced twice by reader
[ ] If a table is scrollable, make sure you can continue navigating to the rows that are further down in the table (that you have to scroll to). Right now it jumps back up to the table header instead of scrolling the table.
[ ] Fix labeling for all download PDF buttons
[ ] Set hyphens to be announced as 'None'
[ ] Fix how icons + value in same columns are being announced
[ ] Make sure no divs or other semantics are hindering the screenreader from announcing the value in the columns

Home owner table:

MHR / PPR Table

[ ] Make sure the filters don’t get announced every time the reader reads the Table Headers.
[ ] Fix expand collapse buttons and how they are being read
[ ] Fix registration type column and make sure it gets read/navigated as specified in figma
[ ] Verification statement columns: Fix PDF button announcement
[ ] Fix how open/edit buttons in Table are announced

Global Split button issue

[ ] Can’t get to and select the submenu items when opening the split button via screen reader
