Agreed. A more accurate title for this bug would be "OOo Writer allows ATs to
conclude that normal text is bold in certain circumstances." :-) Please allow
me to explain:
When an AT wants to identify the attributes associated with a given character,
it looks at the default attributes and then applies any reported character
attributes on top of them. Thus in Rich's example, the default attribute
weight:600 is present. If you query any of the bold characters in his example,
they will not report a weight. Therefore, an AT concludes that because the
default weight is 600 and no character weight is being reported, the text must
be bold. Similarly, for any of the existing characters in his example that are
not bold, the default weight is 600, the character reports a weight of 400, and
the AT concludes that the character is not bold. So far so good. Here's Rich's
bug: When you attempt to query the attributes at the end of the paragraph, the
default weight is still reported as 600; the non-existent character does not
report anything to the contrary. Therefore, the AT concludes incorrectly that
the character that is about to be typed is bold.
Regardless....

Agreed.

That is correct.

Excellent. Thank you!
The solutions you propose sound good to me. But if it's not already obvious, my
background is in education; not software development. :-) So when I see things
like "UNO accessibility API," I feel the need to bring in Willie Walker. So I'm
CCing him.
Having this fixed for 2.4 will be awesome though. I really appreciate it OD!!
