--- Comment #5 from Michael Weghorn <m.wegh...@posteo.de> --- Cursor-tracking works fine on Linux with GNOME Magnifier (s. e.g. the commits related to tdf#149952 to make this work on Wayland), but I can confirm it doesn't work for me with LO and Windows Magnifier on Windows. IIUC, what happens on Linux is that LO sends caret-changed events and the magnifier then queries the current caret position + then the corresponding coordinates and takes care of moving the scaled view to the corresponding place, so LO does not have to do that by itself. I don't have any experience with Windows Magnifier etc., but suppose it should be similar there in general. From a quick look, it looks like notification of changed cursor/caret and the methods to query the current position appear to be implemented in the winaccessibility module in LO, so it might need further analysis why it doesn't work. In a quick test, the cursor was properly tracked with Windows Magnifier when using Notepad++ instead of LO. But then, the fact that Windows Magnifier is closed source makes analysis more difficult, since it's not possible to see what happens on that end. (And it might be possible e.g. that something would have to be changed in Windows Magnifier, e.g. it could be that it only supports UIA events, but not IAccessible2, which LO uses,...). Is there possibly any open source alternative that is known to behave similarly (cursor-tracking works with other apps, but not LibreOffice) that could be used for the analysis instead? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
