Priority: medium
Bug ID: 77061
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: ACCESSIBILITY: Java 8 JRE 1.8u0 and Java Acces Bridge
2.0.4 incompatible for UAA bridge on Windows
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.3.2 rc
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
Java 8 SE released 2014-03-18, the JRE 1.8 and its Java Access Bridge 2.0.4 is
not compatible in some fashion with the existing hooks into the UNO
Accessiblity API.
A correctly configured JRE 1.8 with JAB enabled (verified with
JavaFerret-32.exe, and correct function of the SwingSet2.jar demo applets)
hangs LibreOffice when the Tools --> Options --> Accessibility: Enable
Assistive Technology Tools checkbox is set active.
If JRE 1.8u0 is installed, and the "Support assistive technology tools" option
is selected during an installation/upgrade attemtp, it will hang on first
launch.
If attempt is made to "Enable Assistive Technolgy Tools" from Tools --> Options
--> Accessibility panel, with JRE 1.8 alone installed and selected from the
Tools --> Options --> Advanced Java Options panel, it will hang.
Occurs when opening LibreOffice Version: 4.2.3.2, Build ID:
7c5c769e412afd32da4d946d2cb0c8b0674e95e0 and earlier builds for 4.2.x and 4.1.x
branches I've tested.
The same installs will function for UAA bridge on Windows with JRE 1.7u51 and
JAB 2.0.3
The JRE 8 alone does not seem to be the issue, just issues with use of the Java
Access Bridge 2.0.4 when UAA AT support is active.
If a user can avoid activating assistive technology tool support until after
enabling the IAccessible2 native bridge--then the Java SE 8, and JRE 1.8 can be
enabled. But that scenario is going to be very difficult for disabled users
dependent on AT support.
