Dear LibreOffice community, I'm a blind person and I'm trying to use the "Manager Template" window but I've some difficulties to understand the window due to incorrect exposition of elements to assistive technologies. The search field should expose the "place holder" to AT-SPI2 (for GNU/Linux) The filter fields should be inside a panel of element that will be exposed to screen reader (for blind person). For example, if we use a panel the blind users will hear "Filter panel" before the list content. For now, we only hear the list content without the context (the context is important for people without vision capacity). There is a "push button" after the template thumbnails without label so I don't know exactly what it should do. If we need more informations or precisions, please ask me. Best regards, Alex.
Dear all, I've forgotten to mention that the "push button" should be activate by the "return" key because it is the standard way. In other applications like Thunderbird it's the only shortcut to activate this type of buttons, so, it should be difficult for users that need to learn different ways for activate buttons. Best regards, Alex.

Hi, Has the patch fixed this bug? Could you be more precise please, there are not enough steps to reproduce. How could any dev, even not knowing a11y, reproduce and see what you're experiencing, to investigate then in the code? Myself, to show it now, I don't know really what steps to follow. I'm unable to test its status with so few means to try. Thanks
(In reply to Jean-Philippe MENGUAL from comment #3) > Hi, Hi Jean-Philippe and all > Has the patch fixed this bug? Thank you very much to the developer. The patches resolve the following issue : - The place holder text "search" is now correctly sent - The push button "settings" is correctly labeled The remaining issues are : - All buttons are exposed as "push button". A "push button" is for a blind user a button which opens a contextual menu. As I understood, only the "settings" button should be a "push button" - The settings push button doesn't allow to use enter key or space bar to activate it. It's not logic for blind or partially sighted people to press down arrow key to activate a push button. - The two lists to filter the content are not bound to a label, so It's not understandable at first time. The lists should be inside a panel named "filter" or something like that. Best regards, Alex.

As I understood, > only the "settings" button should be a "push button" Unfortunately Ora says "push button" for 3 variants of buttons (regular, spit and group), while NVDA called the settings button a drop down button. > - The settings push button doesn't allow to use enter key or space > bar to activate it.

This is a separate issue, so i've reported it in another bug (bug 101869). > - The two lists to filter the content are not bound to a label, so > It's not understandable at first time.
