Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Re: Should Writer export taggedPDF andbookmarks by default?

Hi Jason,
so I understand that libreoffice crashes often also under Linux (with 
Orca)...
I tryed to use it under Mac OS X, but I had to renounce: at this time it's 
not quite accessible to be used...
Some buttons cannot be "seen" by the screenreader, the program often 
crashes, etc etc...
So I think that libreoffice developers should work really hard to solve lots 
of accessibility issues...
I am not a developer, so I cannot contribute; I started lots of tests and 
reported my results on this list, but nothing helse; I can't do more (just 
my idea).

These accessibility issues with "low-hanging fruit" are a good 
starting-point, but I think it's not enough; there are lots of accessibility 
issues, and it should be great for me (I am a blind mac and windows' user) 
to see them fixed...

Take care,
       Vincenzo.

Using Orca with LibreOffice, it is relatively easy to cause LibreOffice to
segfault.

For example, just to experiment with LibreOffice accessibility, I created a
new document, typed some text, selected "styles and formatting" (F11),
selected a header style, pressed enter and we crashed.

Orca developers had to work around a similar issue recently, discussed on 
the
Orca list, with tables, which also caused segmentation faults in 
LibreOffice.

Someone who actually needs LibreOffice and who has the time should install
debug symbols and get stack traces.
