Description Joanmarie Diggs 2015-08-31 23:52:55 UTC
Created attachment 118303 [details]
pyatspi accessible-event listener

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the attached pyatspi accessible-event listener in a terminal
2. Launch Writer
3. Type "hello world" and do NOT press return
4. Press Shift+End to select from the beginning of the line to the end

Expected results: A single object:text-selection-changed event

Actual results:
A. The expected object:text-selection-changed event
B. An object:state-changed:selected event
C. An object:selection-changed event
D. Another object:text-selection-changed event

B and C are appropriate for widgets; not paragraphs.

In particular, C is appropriate for parent widgets (Menus, list boxes, the Calc spreadsheet table*, and other widgets which have children and implement AtkSelection).

Similarly, B is appropriate for the selectable children of C (menu items, list items in list boxes, table cells in the Calc spreadsheet table*, and other descendants of widgets which implement AtkSelection).


* Hint: See bug 93825. :)

Dear Joanmarie Diggs,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
