RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Question about mouse pointer positioning

The Windows feature Astron is making reference to is provided in 
the Mouse Configuration for Windows.  It is not tied to the 
application but how the mouse is configured to respond to all 
dialog boxes and especially confirmation boxes.  It involves an 
automatic focus and mouse cursor position change.

These are under Mouse Properties | Pointer Options and may depend
on the mouse and driver being used.

Also, the movable magnifier is a Windows function and it can be
tied to a mouse button on Windows.  I know because my cat easily
butts her head on it.  I am also at the point in life where I 
occasionally need to use it on purpose.  (I claim I am looking
for fine details in the font rendering.)

Hmm.  I didn't know LibreOfice was accessible in Windows.  I thought
it was about as accessible as Open Office which is to say, it is very
much a work in progress.  Has this changed?
