Description

Table cells are announced by screen readers as "clickable" when they are not. I believe this is because they incorrectly have an onClick attribute defined.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the table-cell rendering entry point and checking why cells receive an onClick attribute; verify the behavior with a screen reader. Done means noninteractive table cells are no longer announced as clickable, with existing cell interactions preserved.
