Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] MacOS: When arrowing up and down, not every new line or paragraph is spoken by VoiceOver

Hi again,

I have some more information to share.

The worst experience is that of an imported .docx document. That basically has this problem from 
the start.

An .odt document that was created by someone else or some software like an EtherPad, reads fine, 
all text is in the first multiline text field accessible. If I add to that document, each new 
paragraph gets its own text accessible object, and that also remains so after saving, closing, and 
reopening. As if LibreOffice differentiates between what was originally there and what was added by 
the user in this application.

If I start with a fresh .odt document, each paragraph gets its own accessible, but at least things 
read mostly consistently.

If someone wants to look at sample documents, I have nonsensical content that I can share 
privately, don’t want to bother the list.

Thanks!

Marco
