Description am_dxer 2021-02-13 10:15:36 UTC
Description:
After putting Orca's focus over one of the options in the sidebar such as paragraph and pressing "tab" Orca says "psh button" and then nothing else as ou tab. I was not able to reprduce this on Windows as NVDA is able to read the items in the sidebar.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press (shift+f6) from the document area to land on the sidebar.
2. Use arrow keys to navigate to paragraph.
3. Press (tab) Orca says "push button" and nothing else.
I assume that tab and arrow keys are moving through the sidebar but I have no idea because I am totally blind and Orca is saying nothing.

Actual Results:
Orca doesn't speak anything.

Expected Results:
Orca should speak the focused item.


Reproducible: Always

@Caolán: I feel bad in always pointing you out in these accessibility regressions. I really appreciate the work you have done for us in the past in keeping LO working with Orca and you providing fixes to past bugs.

Comment 5 Caolán McNamara 2021-02-15 20:20:48 UTC
Currently the sidebar is mixed vcl+gtk widgets and the focus is getting sent to the wrong place so the focus isn't in the right place rather than orca unable to screen read in panels. During this intermediate period I think the safest fix is to explicitly grab focus to the widget which should have gotten it and that can drop away later when the panels are fully gtk.

Thanks for working on this. I will try one of the daily builds today to see if it is working now with keyboard focus and orca.

Comment 9 Caolán McNamara 2021-02-19 19:52:03 UTC
seems to work, could be better and hopefully will be once the sidebars are no longer a mix of two types of widgets
