--- Comment #22 from V Stuart Foote  ---
Sorry Zahra, you were correct with your observation of dropped characters and
run together strings. Pushing this Not Our Bug.

Seems NVDA Screen Review is unsupported when running LibreOffice in OpenGL mode
with its DirectWrite and HarfBuzz based rendering. Suspect an implementation
issue the NVDA gdihooks.cpp/gdihooks.h -- but that is for others to say.

Running in Object Review, non-object text is read by API display
scrapping--which frankly threw me off.

Otherwise, running LibreOffice with Default rendering NVDA Screen Review mode
_can_ be activated. And when activated (NVDA - numpad7 cycles available modes),
unlike Object Review, there is an issue with the parsing the oleacc COM events.

The reported dropped characters do occur, as does the run together of strings
dropping word breaks.

i dont think that updating nvda or libreoffice can resolve the issue.
because:
1- i tested nvda 2014.4 and other versions till the 2017.3 and the issue
persists, moreover, i did not see any important changes related to libreoffice
in these recent years in nvda whats new!
every improvement that i read was only for microsoft office, not libreoffice!
2- i believe the issue should be persists in 6.0.3 and other newer versions for
two reasons!
first: someone in nvda user mailing lists confirmed the issue in the 6.0 branch
of libreoffice.
second, as i mentioned in:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108582#c12
i found the solution and the problem is resolved when desabling new
TextLayoutEngine in 5.3
so, when harfbuzz caused this problem for nvda users
and the problem easily can be resolved by using old layout in 5.3
it is very clear that it is not resolved in 6.0!
it should affect all versions of libreoffice that use harfbuzz!
thanks again for your help, God bless you all!

Can the problem be confirmed with NVDA 2018.1.1 and LibreOffice 6.0.3?

i did not say that the issue is for object navigation, as i emphasized many
times and even wrote in the title of my report, the issue is only for screen
review which is much simpler than object navigation and i only use screen
review to read inaccessible parts of the programs.
its 100% reproduceable, i mentioned that i tested with the computer of someone
remotely and observed this issue (remotely (before testing in my system).
so, we can easily conclude that it problem is not only for my windows xp, it
affects all windows and all users like me who use nvda screen reader and screen
review in nvda for navigating inaccessible parts of programs.
just press insert+f7 to activate screen review, you can observe my issue there,
numlock should be turn off for working with screen review which needs insert
key as nvda key.

I would not call the responses by one NVDA user in
https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/topic/12628487#35965 an energetic or well scoped
confirmation...

Rather, with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US (ver 1709) with NVDA 2017.2, 2017.3,
2018.1.1. in Object navigation mode (NVDA key + F7) from the number pad the
Numpad 4 & 6 give clear by word break sounding, the numpad 1 & 3 give clear by
character sounding. And the numpad 7 & 9 give by line sounding--though in the
About -> Help dialog, the multiple lines of the description are read--with
audible breaks at word boundries. In other words it sounds correctly.

So this really is unconfirmed and works for me.

No, I follow NVDA user and dev ML and of course LibreOffice, and this was not
reproduced that I recall. And as you never provided a WinDbg stack trace or
link to Libreoffice crashreporter dumps for LibreOffice, nor NVDA verbose
logging catching the "crash" it is undocumented and not confirmed.

Invalid because even if it were confirmed--it has not been--it could not be
fixed as *both* software projects have moved on.  NVDA 2017.3 and 2018.1.1 or
next 2018.2 on Windows systems with GPU driver support do not have this issue--
and conflating in the HarfBuzz source is not reasonable.

It is equally likely the issue is with NVDA and the Symphony/IAccessible2
module which has some annoying locale detection language change behavior--that
HarfBuzz handling could have complicated, but with out logging its mute.

Otherwise please be aware that at the 5.4 release with a complete transition to
HarfBuzz based rendering cross platform--the legacy GDI/DirectWrite rendering
on Windows (the so called "Old" layout engine) was completely removed from the
code base. It is gone, and will not be brought back.

Making use of HarfBuzz, Windows builds of 5.4, 6.0 and current master have two
rendering modes--legacy GDI for the "Default" rendering (by CPU or Hardware)
and Direct3D DirectWrite with OpenGL rendering. Moving forward we will be
further reducing the use of legacy GDI handling again moving Direct3D
DirectWrite forward (or possibly implementing FreeType) for text rendering.

Sorry not to be cruel, but that is reality--up to you to move on.

@Quintin, do you have any perspective from the NVAccess side?

but i am sure that i asked this problem in nvda user maling list and someone
confirms this problem in libreoffice 6.0!
why invalid?
its a new bug which introducing harfbuzz made for nvda users!
it does not depend on my windows, i am sure that i used remote control program
and tested in the system of one person who has windows ten and observed this
issue!
i tested with libreoffice 5.3.0.3 remotely, but on that time, i did not know
about harfbuzz and how to disable it!
so, my report is not specific for one windows version and specific version of
nvda!
its one of the bugs that introducing harfbuzz made and i did not find any
solution for resolving this issue except disabling harfbuzz as i mentioned that
today i learned from your comment!
why khaled removed the option for disabling harfbuzz in 5.4?
even if libreoffice 6.0, did not support xp, i never used it, because of not
possible to read dialogs and messages in screen review!

@Zahra, sorry. But going to go ahead and close this invalid.

When you eventually move off Windows XP to a current Windows platform, or adopt
a Linux OS and can use Orca you'll be better served.

For now, LibreOffice 5.4 and 6.0 with NVDA 2017.3, or 2018.2 with windows 10
correctly sound all elements of the dialogs exposed to screen review. We have
no issue with the words being run together with either OpenGL rendering or
default GDI rendering being run together.

If 5.3.7.2 and NVDA 2017.3 work well for you (having disabled Harfbuzz based
rendering) great. 5.4 builds are the end of the line for you as support for
Windows XP, and Vista have been dropped at 6.0.

There is no going back from the LibreOffice projects perspective, and as you
know NVAccess and the NVDA project have ended support for Windows XP at 2017.3
release.

I tried again, but I could only make it read the "Version" line, if I moved the
mouse over it. No other lines were read.
For the crash recovery, mouse hovering made it read the text.
With my Truly Ergonomic keyboard, numpad only exists using a modifier key. So I
cannot "turn numlock off" and use the keys because then they are just normal
keys (some numbers and letters).

Previously I had tried to reproduce on another machine, which did have a
numpad.

can someone please confirm this bug?
its very annoying for nvda screen reader users, when they read dialogs and
messages with screen review.
why my bug not be new?
i even found the cause of bug and found the solution by the patch of khaled and
comment of stuart and solved it in 5.3.4 as i said!
just see dialogs and messages of libreoffice in new and old TextLayoutEngine to
see the difference!

--- Comment #12 from zahra  ---
hi again.
by the grace of God,\
finally today i found a solution for my problem.
i write the method that how to resolve problem, but unfortunately it only works
in 5.3, not 5.4 and later!
steps for screen reader users to resolve the issue of reading any message and
dialogs in libreoffice 5.3
1- open libreoffice, (i tested only with writer).
2- press alt+f12 or find the options in the tool menu and activate it.
3- under libreoffice, find advance.
4- between advance settings find expert configuration and activate it.
5- in the edit box, type TextLayoutEngine and press search button.
6- press edit and rename new to old for disabling harfbuzz!
okay, now you can read any dialog box and message using nvda screen reader with
libreoffice 5.3 without any problem!
i tested with the version 5.3.4.2and it worked perfectly.
i am very glad that today i learned expert configuration and i sincerely
appreciate Yousuf Philips, Stuart, and Khaled Hosny that made possible using
libreoffice 5.3 by adding and supporting to add one configuration in expert
configuration to desable harfbuzz!
khaled added one option for disabling and enabling harfbuzz in expert
configurations and
today reading comment of stuart taught me how to enable old engine again in
libreoffice 5.3!
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89870#c32
but i did not understand whats the reason that this great option is removed in
5.4!
how should nvda users read dialogs in libreoffice 5.4 and later with harfbuzz
enabled?
i sincerely appreciate you again, God bless you all!

hello alex
i dont have jaws to test.
one time i tested jaws11 and could not read anything with it.
i am not sure about accessibility of libreoffice with jaws.
jaws and nvda have different method for navigating in inaccessible parts of
screen.
for example: nvda has object navigation and screen review and its different
with method of jaws.
also, i am not familiar with linux, its navigation and did not test it with
orka.
i wished that i be programmer, computer engineer and could migrate to linux.
good for you.

Hello zahra,

Do you have reported this issue on the NVDA side ? Is it the same behavior with
Jaws ?

I can't reproduce it on GNU/Linux with Orca 3.24 and LibreOfficeDev 6.1 from
November. I move the bug to windows specific.

Best regards.

--- Comment #9 from zahra  ---
hi again.

when i open libreofice help, about libreoffice,

i read the content just using screen review.
in screen review,

for example instead of

LibreOffice is a modern, easy-to-use, open source productivity suite for word
processing, spreadsheets, presentations and more.

nvda says:

LibreOfficeisamodern,easy-to-use,opensourceproductivitysuiteforwordprocessing,spreadsheets,presentationsandmore.

some letters are removed.
instead of copyright it says: copright!
instead of version says: rsion.
instead of windows says: ndows.
instead of threads says: hrads

its very annoying and untolerable.
what should i do for this issue?
i did not have this problem in libreoffice 5.2 and before.
i am sure that this bug occured since 5.3 alfa, beta or maybe rc versions of
5.3 andeven remained in 5.4

what should i do to return displaying of dialogs and messages of libreoffice
5.3 in to 5.2 and earlier?
i realy appreciate if someone help me to use my favorite version of libreoffice
(5.3.4.1 which i promised to use it forever).
God bless you all and his infinite mercy i pray for you.
