Created attachment 61124 [details] output with default Base document Currently, LibreOffice has incomplete support for accesibility tools like screenreaders, and even the default VoiceOver provided by Apple. This also causes instability problems leading to frequent crashing on some systems, e.g : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47368 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42014 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48329 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33359 I ran Apple's provided developer tool, Accessibility Checker over the default launches of the various modules of LO with 3.5.2 and am enclosing the output here as text files which shows quite a large number of errors/warnings.

Added bug 46107 - "UI: Voiceover not announcing cell content or position"
46107 was fixed. Might this be fixed as well?
Fixing of 46107 IMHO does not at all influence any of the problems reported in the Accessibility Verifier output, since Accessibility Verifier does not test accessibility notifications (which is the only thing fixing 46107 changed).

The Apple provided Accessibility Inspector with XCode 13.0 appears to be broken and won't pick up any interactions from the LO UI even when it is attached to the LO process.
Created attachment 194567 [details] Snapshot of Accessibility Inspector application's audit panel
(In reply to Alex Thurgood from comment #29) > The Apple provided Accessibility Inspector with XCode 13.0 appears to be > broken and won't pick up any interactions from the LO UI even when it is > attached to the LO process. I think I found how to connect Xcode's latest Accessibility Inspector application to evaluate LibreOffice accessibilty. I used the audit panel shown in attachment #194567 [details]. To do an evaluation, I had to click on the toolbar icon circled in red in the top right corner of the Accessibility Inspector application and then press the Run Audit button. The output looks similar to the other attachments. Not sure which warnings are big bugs and which are just suggestions for improvement. But it looks like another good tool for troubleshooting accessibility bugs.
