Able to replicate with current release build, also with NVDA and JAWS. On further testing, I believe the problem is with the ‘numerical + arrow’ component. Any numerical box that has an up/down arrow fails to read the value. Boxes that do not have this feature are able to be read the value correctly. Though these components are used throughout the software, the easiest one is in the Properties menu Steps to reproduce: 1. CTRL+F5 to open the properties pane on the right side. 2. Several offending components here, including Spacing, Indent, Width, Height I’ve also checked Microsoft Word and Google Writer as oracles. In both of these programs, screen readers are able to read numerical settings boxes of the same and similar type. The ability to read these values is required for the most basic Level A accessibility, specifically ATAG 1.2.

If you can reproduce it, you are allowed to change status to NEW => NEW I cannot reproduce. This sounds like bug 140594 which was fixed in LibreOffice 7.1.5 and later, while the initial description and comment 1 mention older versions. Can you please retest with LibreOffice 7.3 (or at least 7.2)?
