Dear LibreOffice community, with the latest fresh relrease (5.1.4) on box with multiple lines (two or more) when I move between lines Orca says "0 paragraph content", "1 paragraph content" Steps to reproduce : 1) Open LibreOffice 2) Open Orca 3) Insert slide with a presentation subtitle panel for exemple 4) Write lines Result : LibreOffice send a number information on each line to assistive technologies. Expected result : LibreOffice should send us the just the paragraph content as presented on screen (so without any number) Best regards.
Reproduced with LO 5.2.0.3 in Ubuntu 15.10. Also reproduced with 4.3.0.4. Not reproduced with 4.2.0.4 (paragraph number is not announced). This is a regression.
I believe this is from the big c23ab5eaed57cc3fb5860e26c591c73c5b22687b integration of IAccessible2 the old AccessibleEditableTextPara::getAccessibleName was just return an empty string now it returns "Paragraph <num-whatever>". Not sure if this is just a bad idea, or if we make use of this info elsewhere when we shouldn't.

As far as I can see the accessible name is set, and we just tell the a11y readers this info so we're not combining this name into any text and sending that. Its the readers that are using the a11y name. We don't go around putting accessible names of "Button" on each button so I presume by analogy it's ok to go back to having no accessible name for each paragraph in these editengings as it was before... commit c23ab5eaed57cc3fb5860e26c591c73c5b22687b Author: Steve Yin <steve_y@apache.org> Date: Tue Nov 26 14:25:22 2013 +0000 Integrate branch of IAccessible2
