Google docs table navigation: text is written to the wrong cell #9570

Closed Adriani90 closed 4 years ago

Adriani90 commented 5 years ago

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a new document in Google docs
  2. Enable screen reader and also braille support
  3. Create a table with some rows and columns
  4. Place the carret in the first cell
  5. Press ctrl+alt+right arrow key
  6. Type "hello"
  7. Press ctrl+alt+left arrow key
  8. Type "hello"

Actual behavior:

The text is automatically moved to the first cell of the last row. In my case, the text "hellohello" is written to row 3 column 3 although I have entered it in two different cells (row 1 column 1 and row 1 column 2).

Expected behavior:

The text should be entered in the cells reoprted by NVDA and should not be moved to the first cell of the last row.

cc: @feerrenrut, @Qchristensen what happens to the carret visually when starting typing? (steps 6 and 8)? Is it directly moving to the first cell of the last row?

I must admit, I find navigating the table a bit flakey. Sometimes control+alt+arrows move, sometimes they don't, and sometimes they say they do but the focus stays where it is. I actually can't figure out why it changes.

I did almost reproduce this just now - I pressed control+alt+right arrow, and NVDA reported "column 2" but the focus stayed in column 1, the text was typed in column 1. Then when I moved again, NVDA reported where it thought the focus had moved to but again it never left column 1.

But before that I did manage to navigate around the table, so it doesn't seem consistent. Now it won't move out of the first cell for me though.

This is working fine now with NVDA 2020.1, Chrome 81 and Firefox 76. Closing as works for me.
