Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] where's the accessibility?

Hello Stuart,

I just installed libreoffice 4.0 beta 1 on my computer at home and after 
reboot LO wasn't accessible at all.
after i added the registry key it got partly accessible but many dialogs 
are not useable at all.

for example the options dialog has issues tabbing tthrough or the export 
as pdf dialog doesn't talk at all.
seems we have some LO issues there.
i had the feeling older versions of LO pre 3.5 had a nicer 
accessibility. i also saw that calc does some strange things here. when 
i enter data into cells and i go through the sheet it seems that there 
is a strange toolbar which freaks out the screenreaders. tested here 
with NVDA.

the dialog which pops up when you exit LO when you haven't saved 
anything isn't accessible as well.

greetings,
simon
