RE: [libreoffice-accessibility] Comments on using Calc 4.0.5 with NVDA

You might want to cc the NVDA list on that one.  It could be that there is
something they can do faster on their end to ameliorate the situation.  It
may also yield some more technical explanations for why it behaves this way
with LIbreoffice i.e. some control is being exposed in a different way and
NVDA interacts with it incorrectly ETC.

Subject: [libreoffice-accessibility] Comments on using Calc 4.0.5 with NVDA

Hello.
I've done some preliminary testing with Calc and NVDA.  NVDA properly reads
the cell coordinates as well as any data contained within the cell as you
use the arrow keys.  This is how screen readers handle spreadsheets in
excel, and this is good news.  However, if I type any data within a cell,
pressing arrow keys after I enter any data reads too much information,
namely the title of the open workbook folowed by instructions telling me
that I can edit or enter data.  It does this every time I use arrow keys to
move from cell to cell.  When I compared this to the behavior in OpenOffice,
I noticed that OpenOffice does not have this bug and allows me to just hear
the cell and its corresponding data while arrowing through the spreadsheet.
Again, Libreoffice only begins reading too much information after I enter
data into a cell.
