Description: As a refinement for https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116542 , it would be useful to use the NOTIFICATION atk role. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Edit->Find&Replace 2. Type some text in the find field 3. Type enter 4. Look at the role for the "Search key not found" widget in accerciser Actual Results: Role is "static" (in git master) Expected Results: Role should be "notification" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The use case is described in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca/issues/12 : in the find&replace dialog, for the screen reader to know that it should speak the search result, that widget should have role notification instead of just static. Apparently Libreoffice does not have a notification role yet, but it could be introduced just like static was introduced in 4917430c1c5e8105987e81d65d31df21955ad60e . The remaining question is which MSAA or IA2 role that should be mapped to.
