--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vsfo...@libreoffice.org> ---
LibreOffice provides no assistive technology support for Microsoft's UI
Automation framework. And MS has chosen to not support IAccessible2 in Narator,
just spotty support for legacy MSAA.

LibreOffice fully instruments IAccessible2 API calls on Windows, which NVDA
parses as "accessible events" reasonably well. JAWS a bit less so.

For other supported os/DE LibreOffice's cross platform assistive technology
support uses NS Accessibility and ATK/AT-SPI on macOS and Linux respective.

Situation on Windows os/DE will not change, as UI Automation framework is not
compatible with LibreOffices assistive technology. 

Simply put just use NVDA for reasonable AT experience with LibreOffice.
