ctrl + alt + end no longer scrolls table view to last cell in latest version
Summary:
In earlier versions of JAWS pressing ctrl + alt + end while focused inside a table would move the virtual cursor to the last cell and scroll the page to bring that cell into view. However, in the latest version of JAWS, this is no longer happens - the red focus box moves to the last cell, but the viewport does not scroll, leaving the cell out of view.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a scrollable HTML Table in a browser.
- Focus on the first cell using JAWS navigation.
- Press ctrl + alt + end
- Observe that the virtual cursor jumps to the last cell, but the page does not scroll to that cell.
Expected Behavior: JAWS should scroll DOM so that last cell is visiable on screen, as in previous version.
Actual Behavior: Virtual focus moves, but the page does not scroll, resulting in a mismatch between screen content and virtual focus.
Environments:
- JAWS latest version.
- Browser: Chrome
- OS: Windows 11
- Assistive Tech: JAWS screen reader
Impact: This impacts usability and accessibility, especially for screen reader users relying on consistent focus and viewport alignment.
Notes:
- This behavior worked in previous JAWS versions.
- Verified across multiple web apps and simple HTML table setups.
