Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Selecting text with a screen reader

Edward,
I am not using the current still release but am using 4.4.0 fresh 
(haven't installed 4.4.1 yet.) With this version, I am unable to 
duplicate the issues you're experiencing regarding selecting lines of 
text in Writer. I am able to hear text which is being selected as I use 
shift down-arrow and even shift-ctrl-down arrow when I select by 
paragraphs. I am using NVDA 2015.1. Would you consider installing the 
4.4 release?
