Shift+F4 does nothing (also in SafeMode)

Comment 2 V Stuart Foote 2021-04-14 14:11:16 UTC
Likewise <Shift>+<F4> does nothing for me on Windows 10 builds , but it is listed as Writer movement shortcut in Help:

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/swriter/04/01020000.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN

However, a QR Code, an OLE Math formula, an inserted image, or an interactive Frame ALL have frames.  Moving between all of them in sequence is the expected behavior. And that selection still functioning with selection movments like between Draw objects; i.e. select one, then <Shift>+<Tab> to cycle selection in order all the objects/frames.
Comment 3 juergenkohler23 2021-04-22 08:13:19 UTC
If I stand on a frame with Shift+F4, I can navigate between the frames with Shift+Tab, but NVDA only plays the first frame; I can navigate to the others, but they are no longer announced to me.

But this is a different bug, isn't it?

I can reproduce that switching between two frames with Tab and Shift-Tab does not trigger an announcement in NVDA.

Comment 8 Michael Weghorn 2022-04-08 06:31:31 UTC
If I understood the use case correctly, the same happens with Orca on Linux with the gtk3 VCL plugin and the issue can be reproduced with attachment 179397 [details] as shown in screencast attachment 179398 [details].
Nothing is spoken for the frames when moving there with the cursor either (in the sample doc, frames are anchored as chars).
