David, Yes the dev's have restored ( ref fdo#53474 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53474> ) Java Access Bridge support between UNO Accessibility API and Java Accessibility. Unfortunately the "Support assistive technology" check box during installation ( fdo#39833 <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39833> ) is not having the desired result of fully enabling AT on initial launch. The actual changes made by selecting the check box are a bit convoluted and have to do with setting a Windows Environment Variable in the Windows Registry that is then supposed to flag creation of the EnableATToolSupport accessibility stanza in each users LibreOffice profile registry file--registrymodification.xcu I believe the problem is that on first launch, the JRE is not fully specified and so the accessibility stanza is not added to the registry. Also, even with JAB activated and accessibility roles exposed, as verified with JavaMonkey/JavaFerret, NVDA 2012.2.1 and 2012.3 have had problems entering a LibreOffice document--requiring restart of NVDA. I've added this exchange to the fdo#39833 Bugzilla report. In the meanwhile--the old standby of adding a Windows Registry value for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER will insert the correct stanza into each users LibreOffice profile registry. Copy the below text into a new file and name it with a .REG extension. The batch file will insert the correct value in the Windows Registry for each user who runs it.
