I'll do that. The real issue that I'm trying to resolve is why 4.0.5 doesn't
work with a typical install of the Java access Bridge, at least on my
workstation. Accessibility only works when I use GW Micro's JAB installer
which ships with Window-eyes.

You might want to cc the NVDA list on that one. It could be that there is
something they can do faster on their end to ameliorate the situation. It may
also yield some more technical explanations for why it behaves this way with
LIbreoffice i.e. some control is being exposed in a different way and NVDA
interacts with it incorrectly ETC.

Hello.
I've done some preliminary testing with Calc and NVDA. NVDA properly reads the
cell coordinates as well as any data contained within the cell as you use the
arrow keys. This is how screen readers handle spreadsheets in excel, and this
is good news. However, if I type any data within a cell, pressing arrow keys
after I enter any data reads too much information, namely the title of the open
workbook folowed by instructions telling me that I can edit or enter data. It
does this every time I use arrow keys to move from cell to cell. When I
compared this to the behavior in OpenOffice, I noticed that OpenOffice does not
have this bug and allows me to just hear the cell and its corresponding data
while arrowing through the spreadsheet.
Again, Libreoffice only begins reading too much information after I enter data
into a cell.
