Created attachment 97625 [details] screenshot Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a Writer document and insert a comment 2. Launch Accerciser and explore the accessible hierarchy Expected results: The comment would be exposed with ROLE_COMMENT. Actual results: The comment is exposed as ROLE_SCROLL_PANE. (See attached screenshot.) If it were me, I'd just change the role of the scroll-pane object. At least in my mind, the "comment" being pointed to is the entire yellow post-it-note-looking thing (incuding the author, date, and actions; not merely the question it contains. Besides, the fact that this object is a scrollbar-less scroll pane is of no interest to Orca or its users. :) So unless there's a good reason not to touch the role of the scroll-pane, I'd be most appreciative if that were the fix. Thanks in advance!
Already fixed in master (would be part of 4.3), due to this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e031c8ae1ac046fcf165213d80e83311d80a71f5 Shall we backport it?
Backported to 4.2 branch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/9267/

Pushed to 4.2 branch, will be available in 4.2.5 :) http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=67dab7c4b851573747e41def560e26dacdb8ceac&h=libreoffice-4-2
