[libreoffice-accessibility] Re: About Role::RADIO_BUTTON and Role::CHECK_BUTTON

I can't believe I messed up again, "accessibleRole::CHECK_BUTTON" should 
be "accessibleRole::TOGGLE_BUTTON". :(
But after digging a little I believe that we should leave it as is at 
the moment. Also note that "real" radio buttons in dialogs already get 
the correct role. See below for more info on why I believe we should 
leave it for now.
I did a testbuild with on Ubuntu only changing TIB_RADIOCHECK to be of 
accessibleRole::RADIO_BUTTON that updated the role of most toolbar 
buttons that have a radio button type of functionality, for example the 
align buttons in the formatting bar. I'm seeing some extra error output 
in the terminal when they have focus, might be some missing pieces 
surrounding the radio button group information, I did not look to closely.
After that I kept digging into other apps on Linux and it seems that for 
example similar buttons in Nautilus use the role TOGGLE_BUTTON. Looking 
at Mac I see some programs for example Pages that uses AXCheckBox (which 
TOGGLE_BUTTON gets mapped to) for this types of buttons. On the other 
hand TextEdit uses Radio group and radio buttons. A part of me still 
think that radio button is more appropriate because that is the 
functionality of these buttons, but there are more pressing issues when 
it comes to accessibility in LibreOffice.

Niklas Johansson
