VoiceOver ignored role="presentation" for HTML table elements. 1. View the following markup in Safari with VoiceOver. <button>hello</button> <table role="presentation"> <tbody role="presentation"> <tr role="presentation"> <td role="presentation">Some text</td> <td role="presentation">Paragraph</td> </TR> </TBODY> </table> 2. Navigate to the text node named "some text" 3. VoiceOver announces "Table start". It should not do this because role="presentation" means that assistive technologies should ignore the native semantics of the element. This is a simplified example from https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/WD-wai-aria-practices-1.1-20170628/examples/presentation/PresentationRoleExamples.html the reason why <table role="presentation"> is used here instead of a simple <div> is because of support for really old browsers with limited CSS capabilities. Hence, <TABLE> elements are used for styling. This is a regression since IOS 11.0. Can be reproduced on up to IOS 12.3.1. <rdar://problem/52845022>
