Hello,

since I am Using a Screenreader (due to almost blindness) it is impossible for me to provide the information. This has to be done by someone without visual impearedness.
Sorry.
All I can tell you is what I mentioned in my bug report.

When using the screen reader NVDA, it announces the contents of the cell when tabbing. Also if the cells are empty, it still announces the cell number (A1) when tabbing left, right, up, or down the sheet.  I did not hear it announce line left or line right as an example.

Is it possible to let us know if you are still experiencing this issue?

Karl-Heinz: per the previous comment, can you test with version 7.4? There have been many accessibility improvements in the past couple of years.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
