This is a followup report for bug 71556 ("Accessible text-attributes-changed signals should only be emitted when the text attributes have changed [a11y]"). The majority of the issues is gone with Jacobo's fix, but there's still a small remaining issue: "After the patch, most of the unwanted text-attributes-changed events are now gone. Still, the event shows up when you type the first letter of a new paragraph." [1] The fix for the majority of bug 71556 for reference: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=dddae1f0b950f1ce8ab4bcd24991f1917fa36aa6 "fdo#71556: Remove unwanted a11y event on text insertion" [1] https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71556#c8
Hi Noel/Michael, Since you fix bug 117935, I thought you might be interested in this one as well...
Dear Aron Budea, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Created attachment 206242 [details] Listener from tdf71556 for convenience
Created attachment 206243 [details] Sample document Confirmed it's still relevant as of LODev26.8alpha0. Run the listener script attached, open attached document, and follow the instructions. You'll see the spurious events (given you have the en_US speller). The events are only emitted if the current paragraph has a misspelled word (italics or bold don't make it happen), or if removing an empty paragraph with an equally empty one above it (odd, indeed).
