Sample file to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce:

1) start the JAWS screen reader
2) Open attached sample document
3) move through the document using the down arrow key

Actual result:

When reaching the "Monday" table cell in the second cell, JAWS says "Supper" and the same is true when moving further down to the next row.

Expected result: Instead of repeating the text of the paragraph above the table, the actual cell content should be announced.

Sel-confirming, as the issue was originally reported by another user on the a11y mailing list. Thread starts here: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/msg01219.html
