# Steps to reproduce: 1) Start the NDVA screen reader 2) start Writer 3) open the "AutoCorrect Options" dialog ("Tools" -> "AutoCorrect" -> "AutoCorrect Options" 4) Listen to NVDA announcement # Actual result: NVDA just announces "AutoCorrect, dialog", not the initial focus on the "Replace" edit box in the dialog. # Expected result NVDA should announce focus on the "Replace" edit box, as is the case when using the Orca screen reader on Linux. # Further information This was originally reported on the LO a11y mailing list [1] for LO 24.2 with NVDA 2024.2. Also reproducible with current development branches of both.

Self-confirming, as the issue was originally reported on the a11y mailing list by another user and I can reproduce. Using NVDA's Python console, it can be seen that the dialog is actually considered the current focus object by NVDA: >>> focus.name 'AutoCorrect' >>> focus.role <Role.DIALOG: 4> This could be due to a missing focus event for the edit that has keyboard focus.

Also confirmed. Same STR Also issue with the Page Style dialog (even with the new 24.8 vertical tab/list layout). =-testing-= NVDA 2024.3 Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a05432f02b6441b66addc0f22f1b8444557ac37b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
