Description Ilhan Yesil 2018-07-30 09:41:36 UTC
Description:
After installing a 64bit version of current LO together with JAWS on a Windows 10 64bit machine, JAWS was not able to read the content of a writer document.

Examining the accessibility objects of LO with inspect.exe from Windows SDK,
it can be seen that the object tree of the accessibility objects of LO are missing. 

After repeating the test with current LO with 32bit, JAWS is able to read the content and with inspect.exe it can be seen now that the object tree of the accessibility objects is now available.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 64 bit version of LO and JAWS
2. Test JAWS if it can read the content of a document

Actual Results:
Under a 64bit Windows system and a 64bit LO, JAWS can't read documents.

Expected Results:
The content of documents should be read


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
