Description Michael Weghorn 2024-10-30 11:31:50 UTC 
I received this bug report by email, and can confirm on Debian testing with a current LO dev version and Orca 47.0-1:

> I found that in the recent LibreOffice 24.8 some comboboxes on Linux stopped
> announcing their roles. This appears to be  due to a fix you made for the
> editable comboboxes in the toolbar. An example is tools menu>heading
> numbering>paragraph style combobox
