Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] How to enable focus & caret tracking with Gnome magnifier

Hello again, Bas

I just did a quick test with Fedora 20. A quick and dirty solution to 
get Gnome magnifier to track focus, is to start Orca sreen reader just 
before you start LibreOffice. Once LibreOffice is running you can 
deactivate Orca again. I hope someone has a better tip on how to make 
LibreOffice expose accessible events (isn't there a environment variable 
that can be set?)

I consider this a bug but I'm not sure if it is LibreOffice that needs 
to read some extra configuration to see if Gnome magnifier is running or 
the other way around.

Regards,
Niklas Johansson
