Description Alex Thurgood 2012-05-07 03:30:43 UTC

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"
Comment 9 retired 2013-07-28 21:36:54 UTC
46107 was fixed. Might this be fixed as well?
Comment 10 Boris Dušek 2013-07-30 20:38:33 UTC
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).

Comment 29 Alex Thurgood 2021-09-24 15:15:54 UTC
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.
