Bug ID: 121510
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Accessibility broken with Java7
Classification: Code
Product: ui
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows, all
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: AccessBridge
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
When OpenOffice.org is set to use Java7 JRE the accessibility with screen
readers such as NVDA becomes much less. Some examples would include NVDA not
speaking items as tabbing around the options dialog, by default starting
OpenOffice.org writer NVDA does not detect it is within the document view, etc.
NVDA developers have indicated that they are not recieving events from
OpenOffice when using Java7, see the NVDA bug ticket
http://www.nvda-project.org/ticket/2870
When using Java6 with OpenOffice on the same computer the accessibility is far
better, however as Java6 will not be recieving further updates from Oracle
after Feb 2013 it would be best if Java7 support worked properly.
I am not sure what logs/debug output may be useful for solving this, if you let
me know and how to generate the output I can produce output of it.
