[libreoffice-accessibility] Issue Resolved/NVDA Reading too Much Information in Calc

2013-09-04 Thread David Goldfield
A while ago, I wrote to this list reporting a problem where NVDA reads too much 
information in Calc.  This occurs after I enter data in a cell.  After I enter 
data in a cell, pressing arrow keys reads the title of the open workbook, the 
words formula bar and a prompt telling me that I can enter data in this cell.  
This made me wonder if disabling a toolbar might fix the problem.  When I 
noticed that the formula bar was checked, I unchecked it and the problem has 
been fixed.  While I consider this a bug, this is a reasonable workaround as 
blind users can work in Calc without needing the formula bar enabled.  I am so 
thrilled that I now have good access to Writer and Calc again.  I have filed 
this info in NV Access's bug tracker.

[libreoffice-accessibility] Libreoffice 4.1.1 and accessibility Support

2013-09-04 Thread David Goldfield
Hello.
I've been using LO 4.0.5 Writer with NVDA and accessibility support worked 
well.  When I installed 4.1.1, accessibility support became broken.  With the 
assistance of our sighted systems administrator, he was able to get me up and 
running and I wanted to share what he discovered.
When he enabled a.t. support, it asked him to select a JRE.  I only have Java 
7/25 installed but he went to the advanced options and checked use a JRE.  Even 
when he did this, the Java version remained unchecked and he had to manually 
check this version as well.  This was the only version which appeared in the 
list of JRE installations.  I'm wondering if the installation could manage this 
a bit better so that it might check the JRE, especially if only one is 
installed.
