[A11y Assessment - File Manager] Issue with ChromeVox navigation getting into main list of files

Project Member Reported by lpalmaro@chromium.org, Aug 14 2017

Issue description

OS: Chrome
Version: 61.0.3163.38

1. Enable ChromeVox with Ctrl Alt Z
2. Press Alt Shift M to open the files manager
3. Press Search + Right to navigate through item by item on the screen using ChromeVox 
4. Try to use Search + right to get into the main list of files

I can use ChromeVox navigation (Search + Right) to get to the top of the table and access "Name", "type" and "date modified", but then if I try to press Search + Right to get into the actual list of files, I can't. I hear an earcon (sound effect) when I get to the full list of files, and the orange focus ring is around the full list, but I get no verbalization and can't get inside the list with Search + Right.

That said, I can get to that point where I hear the earcon and then press Search + Down and that works to get me into the list. But, this is not intuitive and the user wouldn't know to do this -- Search + Right is how they should be able to get in. 

Weifang, can you please help to triage? CCing David in case anyone needs to consult on cvox behavior.

Friendly ping - any updates here? 
I'm triaging a11y bugs. 

I have reproduced this bug. I'm not fixing this yet, I'll came back to it later.

I did a quick test and the fix on  crbug.com/755278  should probably fix this bug too.

I'll come back to this bug once the CL below is merged:

I can confirm that the fix mentioned on comment #11 also allows to navigate within the files list.

After using Search+right arrow to navigate to files list user can use Search+down arrow or just down arrow to navigate into the files list.

Before that fix, navigating with Search+right arrow would switch the selected folder and there was a way to go from the navigation tree on the left to the files list on the right using Search+right arrow keeping the desired directory selected.
