OK, thanks. Tables are always tricky with a screen reader.

It seems that VoiceOver reads tabs as buttons. Here is the list of tabs in
the Character dialog:
Font, Font Effects, Position, Asian Layout, Hyperlink, Background.
(It is possible that Asian Layout is not available if you have not enabled
Asian languages in the LibreOffice options.)

The list of tabs in the Paragraph dialog is:
Indents & Spacing, Alignment, Text Flow, Asian Typography, Outline &
Numbering, Tabs, Drop Caps, Borders, Background.

On Windows, I go from tab page to tab page by pressing Ctrl+Tab; I don't
know what the corresponding key combination is on Mac OS.
When I am on a tab page, I use the Tab key to navigate the controls inside
it. I believe Mac OS also use the Tab key for this.

What should I do next? Provide lists of controls in each of the tabpages
in the dialogs?

I was also wondering if the Accessibility Inspector is accessible. That is
why I would like to know if anyone else on this list has access to Mac OS.

LibreOffice bugs are reported at <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/>, so
before entering new bugs, you need to create an account there.
You can then search Bugzilla to check whether the bug has been reported
before.
There is a page with further details at
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport>.

Best regards,

Christophe
