[libreoffice-accessibility] More on selecting text with a screen reader

Hi all,

I've now installed LibreOffice 4.4.1.2, but am still unable to select text by line in Writer using 
either JAWS 16 or NVDA 2015.1.

I'd be grateful for any more suggestions as to what I might try.

Many thanks,

Ed
P.S. Apologies David if you see this twice.  I didn’t spot when I replied originally that my 
message went to you instead of just the list.
