Confluence Cloud 8.13 Editor: Inline tables missing aria-labels

Goal

Ensure that screen‑reader users can reliably identify the purpose of inline tables in the Confluence Cloud 8.13 editor, and that the Content Tools menu is fully reachable via keyboard.

Constraints & Uncertainty

• The editor renders tables as role="grid" elements without an aria-label, making the table’s intent invisible to assistive technology.
• Alt+T opens the Content Tools drop‑down, but tabbing does not focus the first submenu item; the menu appears to be hidden from keyboard navigation.
• Confluence Server 7.13 implements a different ARIA schema for tables, creating a version‑dependent accessibility gap.
• It is unclear whether default labeling should be applied automatically or left to content authors.

Questions

1. Should Confluence automatically generate descriptive aria-label attributes for all inline tables in both Cloud and Server by default?
2. What changes are required to make the Content Tools menu fully focusable through keyboard navigation?
3. How can the editor maintain consistent ARIA behavior across Cloud 8.13 and Server 7.13 while preserving author control?
