Description

Bug Description

The TableRowAction component's text prop is correctly passed to the inner ui5-button's tooltip attribute, but it is NOT passed
to the accessible-name attribute. This causes screen readers to announce only "button" without any context, violating WCAG
4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

Actual Behavior:
<ui5-button tooltip="Delete" accessible-name="" ...>
The inner button has tooltip="Delete" but accessible-name="" (empty), causing the native inside the shadow DOM to have
aria-label=""

Root Cause Analysis:
Looking at the UI5 WebComponents source, the TableRowAction template passes text to tooltip but appears to miss setting
accessibleName:
