Screenreader Data Grid Cell Double Column

created 10 days ago (modified 10 days ago)

Dear Support,
when you use the Data Grid with a screen reader, the output of a focused cell contains the name of the column header twice. An example of this behavior can be seen in this demo: Angular Data Grid - Overview | Angular Example

Focus is on the cell „Asia“ in Column „Region“:

The given screenreader output is: „Asia Column Region Row 5 Column Region Column 5“

Regards,
Felix

      Hi Felix,

      Thank you for your patience.

      I reproduced the issue and created a public bug report for further research: DataGrid - NVDA reads column information twice.

      We will update that ticket once we have any news.

        Felix,

        As a workaround, you can manually remove the aria-describedby attribute from data cells in the onCellPrepared event handler:

        JavaScript
        onCellPrepared = (e) => {
    if(e.rowType === 'data') {
      debugger;
      e.cellElement?.removeAttribute('aria-describedby');
    }
 },
