A bug was filed against NVDA which is actually a LibreOffice bug: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/12143. To reproduce: 1. Open Writer. 2. Press Applications key, or Shift+F10. 3. Choose Font -> Font. 4. Choose Font Effects tab. 5. Tab to the Color combo box and open it with either Alt+DownArrow or Space. Expected result: Colors should be read out loud, and I should be able to choose one. Actual: The Color chooser opens, but NVDA is not made aware of this fact. I only found out about it by using NVDA's object navigation commands. I was walking up from the combo box for the color chooser to the Character dialog, walking to the previous sibling, and again previous sibling, to an unnamed dialog, going to the first child, which is the Automatic button, and to the right to find several controls like a combobox with an adjacent expanded list box with 120 colors as its children, and another combobox with recent choices in it adjacent to that list box. There are several events missing: 1. An event on the menu button that it actually expanded. 2. A focus event on the currently selected item in the colors list, or the Automatic button inside the dialog. 3. A focus and selection event on the newly selected color that I choose when pressing the arrow keys. 4. A focus event once a new color is chosen and Enter is pressed, back on the Color menu button in the Character dialog. Note that, should this kind of construct emit menu popup and such events instead, these are probably not appropriate since this is not a menu. It is an expanding combo box with some richer options. Also, I noticed that the tab key doesn't allow me to traverse to the Recent combobox once I set focus to that popover dialog. Instead, it autocompletes the currently selected color. Additional info: Doing the same on Linux works just fine, so this is only affecting Windows and the events the Windows layer does not fire.
Confirmed. This is another instance of incomplete instrumentation of GUI controls such that cursor focus movements do not trigger accessible events, although mouse over focus does. =-testing-= Win10 Ent 64-bit (20H2) with NVDA 2020.4 and Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9d8accf03984a64a4105826e55b221962628eb93 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL
Dear Marco Zehe, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

With the fixes from the previous comments in place, all of these uses cases are now announced by NVDA 2023.1 in my tests as I'd expect, so I'm closing this as resolved. Retesting and reporting feedback welcome. > Also, I noticed that the tab key doesn't allow me to traverse to the Recent > combobox once I set focus to that popover dialog. Instead, it autocompletes > the currently selected color. I can't reproduce that in a quick test, not even in LO 7.5.3.2 that doesn't contain any of the above commits.
