Bug ID: 97794
Summary: Incompatibility between Voiceover in MacOs and
Libreoffice writer resulting in voiceover thinking
that each new line is a separate edit box.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: kris...@kristersplace.com
Voiceover, the screen reading tool for the blind and visually impaired built-in
to MacOs has problems reading in Writer. As soon as a line break is inserted or
a new paragraph is inserted, it thinks it has encountered a new edit box
resulting in, among other things that Voiceover is incapable of reading one
whole document and that editing in a multiline document is impossible. This is
a deal breaker for blind and visually impaired Voiceover users.
Steps to reproduce:
1, load a multi line document such as a news paper article or a text with many
lines and paragraphs into Writer.
2; make sure Voiceover is running, voiceover is toggled on and off by hitting
cmd+f5.
3 using arrow keys, (not voiceover commands) read the text line by line.
4, observe that for every new line or paragraph break Voiceover says "edit
box". Now try having voiceover read a whole document by pressing
control+option+a. Note that Voiceover stops reading after the first line
instead of reading the whole document.
Expected results:
Voiceover should treat the whole document as one single edit box instead of
multiple edit boxes.
Current behaviour: Voiceover treats a document as if it contains multiple edit
boxes, one for each line and paragraph break it encounters.
