Steps to reproduce:

Repro Steps:

  1. Open the URL: https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-4/demo/
  2. Turn on NVDA.
  3. Turn on NVDA Focus mode.
  4. Add a new table and add column headers for the table
  5. Now using ctrl + alt + arrow keys to navigate from one cell to another
  6. Verify whether NVDA is announcing column headers or not.

Code pen for minimal sample: https://codepen.io/testaccount01/pen/rNvxdwJ

Actual behavior (Speech Viewer):-

For 1st table: -
row 2
column 1
row 1 a
row 2
row 3
column 2
column 2 b
column 1
row 3
column 2

For 2nd Table (Speech Viewer) :-
column 2 H2
column 1 H1
row 2 R1
column 2
column 3
row 1 H3
row 2
row 3
column 2
row 1 H3

NVDA is not announcing row or column headers.
-->

Expected behavior:

NVDA should announce row or column headers when we navigate from one cell to another cell. When it is going to the new cell it should announce the column headers of the new cell.
