Description

JAWS doesn't appear to be calculating the accessible name for table elements, just reading their contents.
May be related to #656.

Version Info

JAWS version: Tested with JAWS 2024.2411.16 and JAWS 2025.2412.50, both had this problem.
Browsers: Reproduced on Chrome 131.0.6778.266 and Firefox 134.0.1.
OS: Windows 11, version 24H2.

Expected result

Column headers, row headers, and cells would prioritize aria-labelledby when calculating the accessible name and read that.

Actual result

Only reads cell contents.
