When moving through the interface, of Libreoffice using f6, NVDA announces most of the toolbars and menus. When the focus lands on the sidebar, nothing is spoken. Something should be announced so that users know which part of the interface has gained focus.
Confirmed. Version: 5.2.0.1 (x64) Build ID: fcbcb4963bda8633ba72bd2108ca1e802aad557d CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: GL; Locale: en-US (en_US) But, not silent--rather it is unlabeled and responds as "Split Pane" and then announces the title of the currently active Content Panel in the Deck. But, agree that announcing Sidebar for the event when navigating into the Sidbar frame (either the Deck or the Tab Bar) would be appropriate.
Could you test with master? I am finding that "split pane" is not announced until I press one of the arrow keys after the pane is focused. When using F6 only, nothing is spoken for me when focus lands on the pane.

Hello, I am able to get NVDA to announce split pane sometimes, however, sometimes it does not depending on where I am focused in the sidebar. Try moving the LibreOfficeDev folder temporarily that is in %appdata% to start with a fresh profile next time you load it. NVDA reads nothing where the focus gets placed in a fresh profile when moving onto the sidebar.
