--- Comment #7 from Ken Scott <[email protected]> --- I did find and install LibreOffice 7.5.2. This installer did place a LibreOffice7.5 shortcut on the desktop using the standard option in the installer. No desktop shortcut for LibreOffice seems to be created when using the LibreOffice7.5.3 installer. There also seems to be no choice about a standard or custom install option when using a screen reader with LibreOffice7.5.3 installer. I was able to open LibreOffice7.5.2’s Writer application. When, the NVDA insert + end key combination is pressed the result is no status Bar information. The anticipated result is the announcement of the status bar information like page number and word count and so on in a word processor application such as LibreOffice Writer. As a double check, I use the Windows F6 keyboard function to rotate through the various sections of the LibreOffice7.5.2 Writer screen. The following was announced: File submenu “f” – based on prior experience I know that is a menu bar. Standard toolbar Formatting toolbar property option pane – close sidebar… Untitled 1 LibreOffice writer… Normally the content of status bar if any would be announced when using the F6 keyboard screen review function. This did not happen. In fact, the F6 key stroke went from the last listed item to the first item without any kind of an announcement related to the status bar. Based on my experience with screen readers, I am guessing that there is a problem with the accessibility API used by LibreOffice in the case of the status bar. I also tested with Microsoft’s Narrator which is a much less capable screen reader. The design and philosophy of Narrator and NVDA are quite different. I also use Narrator a lot less so am less comfortable with testing results. The Narrator results to me also suggest an accessibility API problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
