Bug ID: 157696
Summary: NVDA doesn't announce spelling error for words when
reading line in Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Initially reported on the a11y mailing list, quoting from there [1]:
> My second point is about automatic spell checking. I find that my
> screen reader will only inform me of a spelling error if the cursor
> happens to land on the word. I don't know if I can make it any
> clearer, but for instance if reading a line back in this email, NVDA
> will announce "spelling error" each time it encounters a mis-spelled
> word. In LO writer, I will only be told each mis-spelled word when the
> cursor is on it. Pretty little thing this, but it would be nice if it
> could be corrected."
and additional information from a follow-up email in the thread [2]:
> I can reproduce this, e.g. with a paragraph containing this text:
>
> "Hello world, wrrong spelling."
>
> Moving to that paragraph using the cursor up/down key, NVDA announces
> "spelling error" when using Word right away, but not for Writer.
Steps to reproduce:
1) make sure to have a dictionary installed, like
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/english-dictionaries
2) start NVDA screen reader
3) start Writer
4) type "Hello world, wrrong spelling." for first paragraph
5) double-check that "wrrong" is visually marked as having a spelling error
(red underline)
6) hit Enter to create a second paragraph
7) press Up key to move to the first paragraph again
Actual result:
NVDA announces the text without indicating that there is a spelling error in
the word "wrrong", just says: "Hello world, wrrong spelling."
Expected result:
NVDA should indicate that there is a spelling error in the word "wrrong", as it
does when taking the above steps in MS Word instead:
"Hello world, spelling error wrrong spelling."
