I reproduced this bug with LibreOffice 7.0 and NVDA 2020.2.
I forgot to mention that I was using Windows 10.
The bug could be reproduced. Windows 10, Libre Office 7.0.0.3 (x64), NVDA 2020.2 and 2019.2.1
Addition to my exact operating system information: Windows Edition Windows 10 Home Version 1909 Operating system build 18363.1016 LibreOffice Version: 7.0.0.3 (x64) Build ID: 8061b3e9204bef6b321a21033174034a5e2ea88e CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI-Render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE Calc: threaded
With NVDA+B, a part of the window is read out, but you still don't get to know what is actually decisive (the status message). Visualising the status window via an add-on does not work either. I tested this time with NVDA 2020.4.

Mostly fixed in the context of tdf#104833. Additional pending fix: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/192017 With those in place, tab can be used to navigate through the dialog and have the status, etc. read out.
