Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Checking spell

So, I was wrong, it did work on Linux before the IAccessible2 
integration. I pushed a patch towards master that restores the 
announcements when changing selection in a listbox, at least on Windows 
and Linux. There is still a lot to do before the spell check dialog is 
fully accessible, but at least we can hear the suggestions again.
