Bug: The screen reader is reading the table contents incorrectly

Hi Team,

  I developed the Storyline module using version 3.91.33139.0 and tested it with the NVDA 12.3.1 screen reader. The screen reader is reading the table contents incorrectly in version 3.91, unlike in the older versions 3.87 and 3.86.

The screen reader reads as follows in older versions:

Take a look at the correct answer.
Table with 2 columns and 5 rows
columns 1 and row 1 Forgetting common words when speaking
columns 2 and row 1 Potential symptom of dementia
columns 1 and row 2 Mixing up words
columns 2 and row 2 Potential symptom of dementia
columns 1 and row 3 Occasionally forgetting names
columns 2 and row 3 Normal age-related change
columns 1 and row 4 Asking the same questions repeatedly
columns 2 and row 4 Potential symptom of dementia
columns 1 and row 5 Misplacing items Occasionally
columns 2 and row 5 Normal age-related change

However, the screen reader incorrectly reads the table order in version 3.91 of Storyline as follows

Take a look at the correct answer.

I have attached a screenshot showing the bug and the focus order that I set.

Could you please check and provide a solution ?
