Hi.
Its mad you have posted this as I have exactly the same problem. For me its not just tables but web pages with lots of data. Where I am finding this a particular problem at the moment is in a pull request view on Github. One of my clients has an action that posts the Teraform plan output to the pull request. I am working on a large project with several hundred VMs and when the plan creates those and I navigate to that Github PR page I have to be very careful otherwise Jaws crashes.
I think the navigation issue is known, Brian Hartgen posted something about this on Mastodon, some of his clients are sticking with JFW 2023 due to this issue.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi All,
I wanted to bounce this off the group and get out of my own head space in regards to this. I've frequently run into issues with JAWS where either spreadsheets or large tables on a webpage that has say more than 100 records seems to either crash jaws or it takes a really long time for it to get loaded into memory. before you can actually do anything with it. I experienced this on machines that have I9 processors and 64 GB RAM. I have tried in the past to raise this concern with Freedom Scientific but I can't seem to get this escalated to the dev team so they can duplicate it.
In the latest releases of JAWS 2023 and 2024, they have a bug that breaks table navigation entirely. I raises these concerns back in early December. Their temporary solution was to provide me with a Release Candidate which helped since I didn't immediately have the installer for the previous build.
I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions or any work arounds that you all have come up with if any. I was going to attempt to try and use NVDA more often, but the Code Factory voices that I wanted are not purchasable via their site unless you can understand Spanish.
Best to all,
Billy
