Description:
With "Ctrl+Picture up" you jump to the header and, if necessary, back to the text. The function is flawless; but unfortunately the screen reader does not tell me acoustically when I am in the input field of the header. The same problem also exists for the footer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Generate any Header
3. With "Ctrl+Picture up" you jump to the header and, if necessary, back to the text. The function is flawless; but unfortunately the screen reader does not tell me acoustically when I am in the input field of the header.

Actual Results:
NVDA doesn't announce the position in the "Edit Header"-Field

Expected Results:
NVDA should announce the position in the "Edit-Header"-Field


Reproducible: Always

I can confirm this bug; also for the footer.
Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2021-03-15 21:57:16 UTC 
The two commands are UNO movements:

.uno:JumpToHeader
.uno:JumpToFooter

assigned keyboard shortcuts are <Ctrl>+<PageUp> and <Ctrl>+<PageDown>

But confirm there is no accessible event fired on movement to either the 
Header or the Footer to distinguish between cursor focus into the text body.

Michael, here is another a11y issue if you are interested...

Thanks, I have subscribed to the a11y meta bugs and hope to be able to take a look at one or the other issue at some point, but can't promise anything.
