Description Karl-Heinz Arkenau 2023-03-12 16:33:30 UTC 
Description:
When I am using Calc und move from one field to the next the screenreader reports confusing coordinates. For exampel: If you are foucussed on A1 and press the Down Arrowthe screenreader reports B2. Moving up again it may report C1 oder B1. That is quiet confusing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Calc
2. Press the Down arrow key
3. Press the up arrow

Actual Results:
The screenreader NVDA reports confusing coordinates oh which field is focussed.

Expected Results:
The right coordinates are announced.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I am using NVDA 2022.3.

tdf#136760 is about a different issue (reporting relative position in a page in Writer in centimeters or another unit) and unrelated here.
The cell coordinates in Calc are exposed to the screen reader, so if there is an issue with that, it should be fixed.

This sounds a bit like the issue I saw in tdf#150683, but there it was only an issue with cells further down the sheet.

I cannot reproduce the issue here, though. It works fine here with NVDA 2022.4.

Can you please retest with NVDA 2022.4, and possibly also a newer LibreOffice version if the NVDA update alone doesn't help?
