It seems that Orca does not announce the selected state of table or gridcells, where selected does not follow focus. I'm currently running some tests for a11ysupport.io.

Test case: https://a11ysupport.io/tests/html/aria_gridcell(aria-selected).html

I'm on Firefox 93.0b4, Fedora 34 and Orca 40.0.

To verify further, in reference to #171 (closed) I tried adding aria-multiselectable="true" to the table, but it didn't change anything.

In accordance with #171 (closed), in single selection tables, nothing should be announced.

Here, Firefox seems to exposed a "selectable" state in the accessibility tree for ALL cells inside a generic table. This probably shouldn't happen either. Only for focusable items in the table, or for items with attribute aria-selectable.

I filed a two bug reports with firefox as well:

• All cells in a table are exposed as selectable, even without aria-selectable attribute
• Selected state of role row is not exposed in accessibility tree
