Bug ID: 146307
Summary: Full Accessibility Hierarchy of Cell in Calc Being
Announced
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0.3.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I am using Windows 10 64-bit version 20H2, LibreOffice 7.2.4 and NVDA 2021.3.
With Calc, it seems that the full accessibility hierarchy of a cell in Calc is
being announced any time a change is made to that cell (e.g., entering a
number, changing the format, etc.).
I do not have any special settings in either NVDA or LO. The file I am working
with is in Excel (.xlsx) format. When using JAWS and Excel, this issue does
not exist. This is not a new issue; it has been present since at least LO
7.x. Also, other users on the NVDA support list report it.
Michael Weghorn <[email protected]> (a LO Developer) took a look at this
issue. He was able to reproduce it. He also said that this issue does not
occur when just navigating through the spreadsheet using the arrow keys (i.e.,
without making any changes) or when using the Orca screen reader with the gtk3
VCL plugin on Linux. He also added that to his understanding, screen readers
usually only announce the "hierarchy" of a focused object up to the point from
which it is different from the previously focused object. One potential
explanation for this issue could be that for some reason it is not exposed to
NVDA that the previously selected cell is a "sibling" of the one selected
afterwards, or somehow focus is on another accessibility object in between.
