Quentin <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|NOT_AN_ISSUE |--- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #2 from Quentin <[email protected]> --- Dear user without a name, Thank you so much for your considered and thoughtful questions in response to my issue in order to better understand the issue. Let me rephrase the issue: Start your chosen screen reader. I used NVDA as I happen to work for the company who make it, and as it is freely available, you can try it to in order to verify this issue: http://www.nvaccess.org/download/ This problem is also reproducible in Narrator, the screen reader that comes with Windows. So to reproduce: 1. Be in a document with spelling errors. 2. Press F7. 3. Navigate to the suggestions field (TAB or press alt+s). The screen reader correctly reads the first item as expected. 4. Press the down arrow to move through the suggestions. The screen reader does not read the suggestions so the user does not know what is there. This is a bug. The correct behaviour is for Open Office Writer (hint: that's YOUR program) to disclose the current suggestion to the screen reader, so that the screen reader can then read it. If you are in any doubt, feel free to repeat the same steps in LibreOffice, Microsoft Word, or pretty much any other program with a spell check feature. I admit I could have been clearer in my question, but you need to ask when you don't know something. NVDA+numpad 4 and NVDA+numpad 6 (the NVDA key is usually insert, but may be caps lock if the user has set that) are used to navigate between items when the regular navigation keys don't work. It's not recommended for most things, particularly something as mundane as spell check. What I was really trying to say was that I can half get to them, but Open Office just needs to make a little more info discoverable by a screen reader when the user is navigating through that part of the dialog. I'm more than happy to provide more information if you require, and I can even do it without the snarky attitude, if you are actually willing to investigate bugs that are filed on your system, instead of just saying they don't exist when you don't understand what was written. In fact, I would be very interested in having more of a discussion with you on how we can BOTH work together to make our two programs work better for both our user groups. Kind regards Quentin (quentin at NV Access dot org if you'd like to discuss more general accessibility) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
