Browse Pojects : Inaccessible by keyboard and no conforming alternative.

Issue Summary

The element is not accessible by keyboard alone and there is no conforming accessible version of the same functionality reachable from the non-conforming page.

Element name :

• Project
• Key
• Project type
• Project lead
• Project category

Note : The edit element is only visible on mouse hover.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the Jira dashboard page.
2. Navigate to "Project" menu button in header section & activate it.
3. Activate the “View all Projects ” link.
4. Navigate to the table section where all project files are available in the “All project types - All categories” section , having table headers “Project”, “Key”, etc.

Actual Results

The issue on Browse projects page, while navigating with keyboard, when user navigate to “All project types - All categories”  section elements such “Project”, “Key”, etc. the elements don’t receive keyboard focus & not accessible with keyboard alone, but "Project”, “Key”, etc.  elements are clickable with mouse and also available on mouse hover.

The “Project”, “Key”, etc.  element is marked using <th> element.

This makes keyboard only users difficult to access the  “Project”, “Key”, etc.  table header filter elements present on the Browse projects page.

Expected Results

Following are the expected keyboard interactions.

• The Interactive table header such as “Project”, “Key”, etc should receive keyboard focus.
• The elements should get activated with enter/space keys.
• The focus should remain on “Project”, “Key”, etc once activated and should not go to any other element.
• When user activates the “Project”, “Key”, etc. any of the header the screen reader should announce the change in the page happened eg. "Project sorted from A to Z".
