But the whole page could be difficult to follow Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 2 August, 2011 12:27:29 Subject: [libreoffice-accessibility] LibreOffice and Orca (WAS: Should Writer export taggedPDF and bookmarks by default?)

There are a few other LibreOffice bugs that mention Orca and crashes: * Bug 36023 - LibreOffice writer crashes with Orca Screen Reader: "(...) Orca screen reader reads a portion of the complete text (when reading the whole document) and then Open/Libre office crashes with no warning or dialogue. As soon as trying to handle an object (such as an image) writer crashes immediately with no warning or dialogue. (...)" <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36023> * Bug 31973 - When ATs listen for object:children-changed:add events, LibreOffice crashes: "(...) The impact of this is that Orca users are seeing frequent crashes when working on documents, especially those with bullets/numbers. (...)" <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31973> > Orca developers had to work around a similar issue recently, discussed on the > Orca list, with tables, which also caused segmentation faults in LibreOffice. Is there a list of issues that cause crashes? Or even better, procedures to reproduce the issues? > Someone who actually needs LibreOffice and who has the time should install > debug symbols and get stack traces. Is there any guidance anywhere on how to do this?
