Wrong assumption, so while the IAccessible2 (v 1.3) and the same native Windows bridge is used by both projects, the Office components are rapidly diverging. The LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet in particular has been completely reworked from the OpenOffice.org era--similar refactoring has not been done with Apache OpenOffice. Unfortunately, with this new code base in LibreOffice, the triggering of underlying accessibility events for cursor movements and accessible object types have not been correctly done. The shortcomings affect builds for all OSs. For Windows users, and indirectly the NVDA project, dumping a Java Runtime Environment and Java Access Bridge dependency moves things along nicely. But there is room for improvements both with the Windows IAccessible2 bridge implementation as well as instrumenting the GUI with AT tool support. It is not just with Calc, but it currently has some annoying behaviors that need proper bug reporting and developer attention.
