Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Re: Calc and Accessibility

Hi
Two things, first:
I noticed that after I enter a cells edit mode by double clicking the 
mouse and then escape, I actually get reports of cell coordinates and 
cell values when I use the arrow keys. I don't now exactly what gets 
initialized when I double click on a cell but I'll keep digging.

Secondly:
I did a patch for the problem with zero being announced and it has been 
pushed to master. It would be nice if somebody could verify that it 
actually works especially if you could test with another Windows screen 
reader than NVDA. Note that this is only pushed to master at this point. 
You can download and try out the patch here:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86@51-TDF/current/master~2014-10-19_01.56.13_LibreOfficeDev_4.4.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86_en-US_de_ar_ja_qtz.msi

The focus issue is still not fixed so you need to use the workaround to 
double click a cell and pressing the escape button to get announcements. 
But after that you should be able to test that cell content other than 
numerical values are presented correctly.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that we can nail this focus issue soon.

Niklas Johansson
