             Bug #: 54320
           Summary: ACCESSIBILITY: VoiceOver does not follow keyboard
                    focus
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.5.6.2 rc
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


Problem description: 
When you move through LibreOffice toolbars, dialogs etc using arrow and tab
keys the VoiceOver cursor does NOT move with current focus. If this were to be
fixed quite a few accessibility problems on Mac might be "worked around". Ex.
On mac the tree controls used by Options-dialog, Navigator etc is not possible
to navigate using VoiceOver cursor. If the currently selected item was reported
to VoiceOver it would be possible to use the arrow keys to navigate. 
By the way at the moment Calc is totally unaccassible using VoiceOver this
would not be the case if focus was reported.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice any component will do but lets say Writer
2. Start VoiceOver cmd+F5 (if your on a laptop you might need to use fn+cmd+F5)
3. If a VoiceOver welcome message shows just press OK
4. Press F6 (fn+F6 on laptop) to move focus between the toolbars.

Current behavior:
Libreoffice moves focus between the toolbars and highlights the control in
focus. But VoiceOver focus stays still.

Expected behavior:
VoiceOver focus moves with the changed keyboard focus.
