Notable examples include: * The issues and merge request table, See this [example from GitLab's CE repo](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests) * The [diffs table is also problematic](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/26502/diffs) - even though it is marked as a table, it has `display: block` set, which removes accessibility semantics in most browsers, which makes it extremely difficult to review code. * The [CI/CD table](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/pipelines) I have a clientside userscript running to fix some of these issues, without which I won't be able to work, so can provide more info if needed. 2. There is no keyboard accessible way of adding a comment to a specific line on the diff, so I had to resort to removing the CSS that made it only visible on mouse over in my userscript as a temporary workaround at work. 3. Indicators for the status of various pipeline stages in merge requests and the Ci/CD table are not accessible, and are read as "menu button collapsed subMenu", which has no indication of the stage's name as well. When opening the submenu, there is a link to the subitem, e.g "review-docs-deploy-manual", but no indication of its status, which I assume to be there. ### Output of checks This bug happens on GitLab.com
