Description Joanmarie Diggs 2018-01-31 16:15:33 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Calc
2. Type in a date in cell A1, e.g. 01/31/2018
3. Format the cell so the month name is displayed, e.g. January 31, 2018
4. Launch Accerciser and select the accessible associated with A1 in the panel on the left
5. In Accerciser's Interface Viewer, expand and view the "Text" content

Expected results: The displayed text ("January 31, 2018") would be exposed.

Actual results: The text which was entered ("01/31/2018") is exposed.

Impact: Orca doesn't present the contents on the screen.

Hello all,

I can confirm the issue on Windows 10 with LibreofficeDev 6.1 and NVDA 2017.4.

FYI, I've followed a simple steps:
1) Open LibreOffice Calc
2) Type 25 on the A1 cell
3) Go for format, cell
4) Change the cell to currency
5) The cell content moves from 25 to $25

Result: NVDA reads 25.
Expected result NVDA should read $25.

Best regards.

Marking as affecting all OSs, not just Linux.

Confirming that a formatted date is still read a "digits-slash-digits-slash-digits" by Orca in:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 77fca616e0bd79e0b405fd0b3543cf8e94e15df3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Already bad in 5.2.0.3.

Regression as Orca reads it as formatted in LO 4.0.6.2 (checked with libreoffice-64-releases bibisect repository, but quite a few version I can't run with gtk vcl and therefore can't check test with Orca).

Michael, what do you think?

To make it easier to track (and not forget testing it), in reference to bug 155789:
