role=caption is not output as acc name of the table (Chrome, Edge)

[JAWS-test]

Summary

1. Go to https://codepen.io/jaws-test/pen/XWmLXop
2. Press INS+Ctrl+T (table overview)

Expected result

role=caption is output as table name when referenced from the table via aria-labelledby

Actual result

• role=caption is not output as table name when referenced from the table via aria-labelledby
• The problem occurs in Chrome and Edge
• The problem does not occur in Firefox and IE 11 (and not with NVDA + Chrome)
• The problem only occurs when using aria-labelledby to directly reference the element with * role=caption. It does not occur if no role=caption is used or if aria-labelledby refers to a child element.
• It does not occur for HTML tables with the caption element
• It is a JAWS bug because the accessibility tree in Chrome displays the label correctly

taking another look at this today (june release of jaws 2020), can confirm it's still an issue, however also note that when paired with Firefox (latest) there is no accName for the table with a nested role=caption either.
