Bug ID: 162929
Summary: Screen readers don't announce selection changes in
table in Impress
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Steps to reproduce:
1) start the Orca screen reader on Linux
2) start LO Impress with the gtk3 VCL plugin
3) Insert a 2x2 table via "Insert" -> "Table"
4) type single letters (or more text) in the table cells, so it e.g. looks like
this
A | B
-----
C | D
5) move cursor to first cell
6) use Shift+Right twice to select first cell, then again to select second cell
in addition
Actual result:
Orca doesn't announce the newly selected cell
Expected result:
Orca should announce the newly selected cell.
Further notes:
* This is most likely due to missing selection-changed/state-changed:selected
events on the a11y layer, s. Noel's comment here:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/173245/comments/47017689_65d42715
(which was the trigger to test + report here)
* That also gives a code pointer and points out a potential interface that
could help achieve what's needed (dummy check for that interface removed in
that Gerrit change, as it wasn't implemented anyway)
* When using a table in Writer instead of Impress, this works fine.
* Behavior on Windows with NVDA is comparable.
