In List View, when you walk through the columns in the same row, the
column "title" is spoken as well as its "value".
Ex: "Full Name Andre Nuno Soares".

If you change rows, then the entire new row is spoken, including the
"titles".

In an empty column, the "title" is still spoken.

Personally, I don't find this too confusing, although the empty columns
shouldn't be spoken.
