Hi Jason,
so I understand that libreoffice crashes often also under Linux (with Orca)... I tryed to use it under Mac OS X, but I had to renounce: at this time it's not quite accessible to be used... Some buttons cannot be "seen" by the screenreader, the program often crashes, etc etc... So I think that libreoffice developers should work really hard to solve lots of accessibility issues... I am not a developer, so I cannot contribute; I started lots of tests and reported my results on this list, but nothing helse; I can't do more (just my idea).

These accessibility issues with "low-hanging fruit" are a good starting-point, but I think it's not enough; there are lots of accessibility issues, and it should be great for me (I am a blind mac and windows' user) to see them fixed...

Take care,
       Vincenzo.

issues too even if you can't break them down into simpler problems.

Using Orca with LibreOffice, it is relatively easy to cause LibreOffice to
segfault.

For example, just to experiment with LibreOffice accessibility, I created a
new document, typed some text, selected "styles and formatting" (F11),
selected a header style, pressed enter and we crashed.

Orca developers had to work around a similar issue recently, discussed on the Orca list, with tables, which also caused segmentation faults in LibreOffice.

Someone who actually needs LibreOffice and who has the time should install
debug symbols and get stack traces.
