Description Joanmarie Diggs 2018-07-02 20:20:01 UTC
Description:
Because Calc doesn't notify Orca when an entire row or column has become unselected, Orca cannot notify the user.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the attached pyatspi accessible-event listener in a terminal
2. Launch Calc and give focus to the spreadsheet table
3. Press Shift+Space to select a row or Ctrl+Space to select a column
4. Use Shift + Arrows to select a couple more rows/columns
5. Use Shift + Arrow in opposite direction to unselect what became selected in step 4


Actual Results:
Each time step 4 is performed, the event listener prints out an event (good).

Each time step 5 is performed, the event listener does NOT print out an event (bad).

Expected Results:
Each time step 4 or step 5 were performed, the event listener would print out an event.


Reproducible: Always

Dear Joanmarie Diggs,

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
