Jude, Can confirm your issue after installing NVDA, while running LibreOffice 3.5.4rc2. The NVDA screen reader functions as expected, but when working in LibreOffice, NVDA cursor controls are not correct. Attempting to activate the accessibility support from Tools --> Options --> Accessibility checkbox results in LibreOffice message that "LibreOffice 3.5 requires Java Access Bridge 1.0.3 or later version to support accessibility." Installation of the current Java Access Bridge 2.0.2 according to the manual installation instructions: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/accessbridge/2.0.2/setup.htm and subsequent attempt to activate Accessibility support causes LibreOffice to crash. There were two on topic Bugzilla reports, 46114 ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46114 ) and 46422 which I've marked as duplicate. And related bugs 39803 - Make Libreoffice accessible by default, and 39956 - Implement the IAccessible2 accessibility API [accessibility] that should probably be followed. Several developers are already looking at this important issue--will need encouragement from the user community. Stuart ________________________________

This in theory is supposed to support assistive technology and has for other nvda users but failed for me on a windows7 box with the already-mentioned version of jre as well as both javaaccessbridge-2.01 and javaaccessbridge-2.02 not at the same time and a registry patch that enabled other nvda users to get it all working. When the error happened in libreoffice-3.4.4 the wording was a little different stating that my jre was defective. In the middle of all of these processes out of desperation I uninstalled all jre's from my windows7 box and reinstalled the current jre since other readers of nvda-support email list thought two jre's could be confusing libreoffice and javaacessbridge. That did not help either. After this, it'll either be lotus symphony or gag Microsoft office I'm using. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html> -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
