Table nav is not reliable in Google Docs

Reported by nimerjaber1@gmail.com, Aug 26 2016

Issue description

Mode: force_next
Version: 54.0.2837.0
Reproduction Steps: 
1. Enable Chromevox Next
2. docs.google.com
3. Insert a table with two rows, two columns. In the top left corner, type item. In the second column of the first row, type price.
4. Attempt to navigate the table with Chromevox table commands.
Expected: A user is able to navigate the table with Chromevox nav commands.
Actual: At times, nothing is announced when attempting to jump to the next row or column. When editing the contents of the table, typing after navigating to a different row or column often results in text being written in the wrong cell. And a user is unable to read the content reliably, either because nothing is read, or the contents is read with selection state being announced. If required, I can provide more information, but this all should be straight-forward to repro.

Are you using braille mode? (file->accessibility->settings)

If not, then Docs has it's own commands to jukmp around a table. If so, support is still int he works.
Yes, this is in Braille mode.

Thanks.

Shouldn't DOcs fully-work with ChromeVOx Next if Braille mode is on or off? I use it in Braille mode, as non-Braille mode wiht *any* screen reader is a bad a11y-ux.

1. Using Inser t > table > only 1 x 1 speaks: arrowing around to other table dimensions are silent. I had to use alt+/ then type 2 x 2.
2. I cannot find the DOcs commands to navigate to next/prev row/column using the alt+/ list
3. cvox2 table nav should be supported in DOcs
4. WHen table is  inserted and tabbing around to different cells: nothing is spoken.

1. Using Inser t > table > only 1 x 1 speaks: arrowing around to other table dimensions are silent. I had to use alt+/ then type 2 x 2.

All custom verbliazations come from Docs, so there's not much ChromeVox can do here.

2. I cannot find the DOcs commands to navigate to next/prev row/column using the alt+/ list

Looks like they don't support these.

3. cvox2 table nav should be supported in DOcs

They should and so should heading navigation, link navigation, and other jump commands. As of writing, these are not ready for testing and are not supported through ChromeVox. They are supported if you use Docs navigation as they have been for some time.

4. WHen table is  inserted and tabbing around to different cells: nothing is spoken. 

Tab would insert a tab character in this case.

Docs has it's own command set.
