Description

Please make sure each of the following is true before submitting a new issue. We are a small team with limited time and it is very difficult to manage issues if they aren't reported correctly.

  • This is a bug report, not a question on how to use the grid.
    Use Stack Overflow or Gitter for questions.
  • You have searched the open issues to see if this bug has been filed before. We don't want duplicate issues.
  • You have reviewed the tutorials and documentation to ensure you are using the grid correctly. ui-grid.info
  • You are using the latest version of the grid. Older versions are not patched or supported.
  • You have provided steps to recreate your bug. A plunkr is even better.

We are using ui-grid version 4.8.4 and facing the NVDA incorrect summary narration for the ui-grid. It reads multiple tables for a single table and incorrect count of rows present in the grid

Research direction
Investigate the grid's table rendering logic, particularly the ARIA attributes (role, aria rowcount, etc.) in the template files (e.g., src/templates/). Reproduce using NVDA with a simple grid example. Check if multiple table elements are mistakenly created or if the row count attribute is miscomputed. Look for recent changes or related issues in the repository's accessibility tags.
