I came across tdf#108458 in the context of https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/136722 (v1), which then brought me here again. I don't really understand what the exact intention/request here is: Is it to have the tooltips read out by default by screen readers when focusing an item using the keyboard, e.g. by having them in the accessible name (or accessible description)? If so: At least Orca and NVDA have an option in their settings to announce tooltips also, so I'm wondering whether it shouldn't be dependent on that option whether or not tooltips are announced. Since, IIUC, tooltips can contain rather long help texts, I tend to think that not all users would want to have them announced every time (in particular when experienced with the functionality currently being used), but a short label might be enough then? (And it would hopefully be possible to press some keyboard shortcut to have the screen reader announce the tooltip on demand, but I don't know whether that's currently implemented in the screen readers. Or is it, but LO doesn't provide the information when the UI element has been accessed using the keyboard, as opposed to when mouse-hovering over them?) @Stuart: Could you possibly clarify a bit further what the request in this ticket is (maybe also giving an example scenario of how that would be used)? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
