Research direction
Investigate the grid control's rendering logic in the source code (likely in src/features/grid). The issue states that screen readers work on Firefox but not Chrome, suggesting a problem with ARIA attributes or roles. Look for existing ARIA implementation in grid templates or directives. The comment may provide hints. Check for any linked PRs or comments that address accessibility. Reference the issue number #6286 and search for related fixes.
