Description Alex ARNAUD 2016-07-06 17:14:49 UTC
Dear LibreOffie contributor,

I'm a blind person and I'm trying to use the "letter wizard" with the Orca screen reader.
I've noticed that all the form fields are not linked with their labeled, so the result is that I know I'm in a form field but I'm not able to know their associated label.

For example, in the first "Letter wizard" window, Orca says "Elegant combo box" without any mention of the label associated to this field.

Best regards.

Which LibreOffice version do you use?
FYI, last stable one is 5.1.4.

Dear Juline,

Sorry, I've forgotten to give you the version number. I'm using the latest fresh release (5.1.4) with the latest Orca version (3.20.2).

Best regards.

Thank you for your feedback Arnaud (sorry for the delay, I was in vacation).
Comment 4 Aron Budea 2016-07-27 08:48:49 UTC
Reproduced in LibreOffice 5.2.0.3/Ubuntu 15.10. Also reproduced with version 4.0.0.3, probably inherited from OOo.

There are more fields like this in the wizards, for example the Fax wizard's page design combo box, so whoever fixes this should do a general check among them.

I don't have a lot of time but I'll try to address the letter wizard, at least.

Dear Jacobo Aragunde Pérez,
This bug has been in ASSIGNED status for more than 3 months without any
activity. Resetting it to NEW.
Please assigned it back to yourself if you're still working on this.
Comment 11 Jacobo Aragunde Pérez 2019-06-26 09:38:03 UTC
Thanks, Xisco.

So far, I tried to add some "label" or "accessible label" value to those fields, but that failed. My understanding is that the python wrapper for the UI element doesn't support them.

I'm not working on it right now, but I will reassign the bug to me when I come back to it.

We have a similar code written in java ( https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?full=SetAccessibleName&path=%22%2Fcore%2Fwizards%2F%22&project=core ), we could use it for python as well...

Comment 14 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2022-05-15 01:11:24 UTC
I can still reproduce with the latest alpha build:

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha1+ / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 4bd8eb13e1e2693961fdb9c19c403fde9d163de1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

The Combo boxes state the value currently selected but not what they are for. (E.g. says "Elegant" but not "Page design".)

Version of Orca:

3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1

Adding Wizard meta bug.
