Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Latest LibreOffice and Java access Bridge

Sounds as though they are making progress which is a good thing.  I will try 
this latest one with Supernova in the next day or so and let you all know if 
it behaves the same way.

Best regards,

Tom

Subject: [libreoffice-accessibility] Latest LibreOffice and Java access 
Bridge

Hello.
This is regarding Libreoffice 3.6.4 and its support for assistive 
technology.
I'm using a Windows 7 Pro 32-bit machine installing the latest version of 
Java from the Ninite installer; JAB is enabled via the control panel under 
Ease of Access.
My screen reader is NVDA 2012.3.
While installing this latest version I was careful to check the box for 
enabling support for assistive technology.
When I loaded Writer I received no feedback while navigating through menus. 
I know the keystrokes for enabling a.t. support in the Options dialog and I 
did this and then restarted Writer: this time I received a little more 
feedback.  This means that it is likely that a.t. support was in fact 
disabled even though I checked the appropriate box during installation.
I have checked with a sighted person who verifies that a.t. support is 
enabled in the options dialog.
While menus spoke and I can receive text feedback while moving through a 
document dialog boxes are usually silent except for standard dialogs such as 
the Open dialog.
As an example when I press alt-f4 I am prompted on whether I want to save 
changes to my open document.  when I press the tab key I hear nothing where 
I should hear the names of the buttons as they gain focus.
I also notice that when Writer opens I rarely receive feedback in the first 
document.  when I open subsequent documents some audio feedback is 
presented.  Can anyone verify these findings?
