Hi, You need to stop interacting with the table and the scroll area to find the Status bar. Once you've got out to that layer, I'd press VO-FN-right to get to the end of the window. If the status bar isn't there, press VO-slash and it should appear. Your way works just fine though and may actually be quicker.

Toggling the status bar with Command+/ didn't do anything. What I had to do to find out how many rows were in the table was to go to the bottom of the tree view after interacting with the table, then use VO+R to tell me the number of the last row. Sounds a little twisted, I know, but that's what happened and how it worked.
