Description Buovjaga 2017-02-24 18:10:35 UTC
When you navigate by keyboard on a piece of text that has a comment, there is no screen reader notification about the comment. This is similar to the feature of being notified that a word is mispelt.

Split from bug 102058 per developer request.

Dear all,

as in bug 102058 I've changed the version to "unspecified" due it is not a regression.

Best regards.

I can confirm that there is no comprehensible notification by the Orca screenreader when encountering a comment in a Writer document.

If I arrow through a paragraph letter by letter, and get to the point after where the comment is inserted, Orca reads "Object replacement character". That's it.

These are my specs:
Version: 6.1.2.1
Build ID: 1:6.1.2-0ubuntu1.1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: nl-NL (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded
