accessibility: mui react table missing semantic
Author: fcnjdCreated Jan 13, 2026Updated May 30, 2026
What you were expecting: As a blind user relying on screenreader and Braille display, I expect clickable elements to be shown as either links or buttons.
What happened instead: Clickable table rows in MUI react tables are shown as normal text, although they do execute an action when enter is pressed on them.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to the helpdesk demo on (https://marmelab.com/react-admin-helpdesk/#/tickets)
- Turn on a screenreader, tested with NVDA on Windows
- Navigate the tickets table
- Find that entries are neither links nor buttons, but execute when pressed
