Description Joanmarie Diggs 2015-12-14 18:33:52 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch LibreOffice Writer
2. Launch Accerciser and enable monitoring for LO children-changed events
3. Create several new paragraphs
4. Delete the paragraphs

Expected results: object:children-changed events would be logged by Accerciser.

Actual results: No object:children-changed events are logged by Accerciser.

In addition: Currently LO Writer exposes only on-screen paragraphs to ATs. As a result, when switching pages, the accessible tree is updated so that the document's children are the visible paragraphs. In other words, children are being added and removed. However, there are no object:children-changed events seen as a result.

In Accerciser, I selected soffice and then in Event monitor, radio button Selected application. Under Object, I ticked children-changed.

I do not reproduce the problem. I do get log events for children changed.

Please retest.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

I'm doing what you're doing. And I continue to not see children-changed events. I tried with both 5.1.3.1-2.fc24 and 5.2.0.0.alpha1.

Mind you I get children-changed events from soffice. For instance, if I open a menu. But what I am not getting is children-changed events when I type text and press return (creating new accessible paragraph objects).

I tried it again and I guess I was confused.

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.

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
