We are using WET v4.0.21 and did testing with Internet Explorer 11.0.96 and JAWS 18 + JAWS 2018.

When we navigate by keyboard to "Filter items" on the datatable, JAWS 18 reads "Filter items" multiple times. When we input a search term into "Filter items", TAB to a field before the "Filter items", then TAB back to "Filter items", JAWS 18 will read "Filter items" and the search term over and over again, several times in a row.

With JAWS 2018, there is no reading of "Filter items" multiple times, but when keyboard focus goes to "Filter items", JAWS 2018 starts reading the H2 heading (which has id="table-heading"), which in our case is not necessary. Is this normal behaviour?

Our code for the table:
<table id="tresults" class="wb-tables table table-striped table-hover table-condensed" data-wb-tables='{ "order": [[ 1, "asc" ]], "lengthMenu": [ [10, 25, 50, 100, -1], [10, 25, 50, 100, "All"] ]}'>

Is there anything that can be done to solve the issue of JAWS 18 repeating "Filter items" over and over again?
