CSS influences output of tables in Chrome

[JAWS-test]

Summary

CSS influences output of tables in Chrome

1. Go to https://codepen.io/jaws-test/pen/zYxOPjW
2. Press Ins+Ctrl+T or T or navigate with arrow keys

Expected result

• Tables should be output as tables (independent of CSS)
• display:table should not lead to the output of tables

Actual result

• Tables are not output as tables if they have certain display values.
• display:table leads to (incorrect) output of tables (incorrect because e.g. display:table-caption is not recognized as table header)
• Problem does not occur in IE 11, Firefox
• Problem does not occur with Chrome with NVDA
• Cause: Chrome sends incorrect information about the operating system's Accessibility API. I still report it as a JAWS bug, because the Chrome problem has been known for many years and JAWS should therefore also analyze the source code/DOM to work around this bug.

Yes, the table is not correctly exposed.
But unfortunately we can not create a special check for a particular browser bug.
That would be difficult to maintain and that would not encourage Chrome devs. to fix it.
