Description Boris Dušek 2013-08-08 18:57:03 UTC
Summary: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a text in Writer with 2 paragraphs
2. Put text cursor in the first one of them
3. Switch VoiceOver on (Cmd+F5), notice it focuses on the paragraph with keyboard focus (= first paragraph)
4. Move VoiceOver cursor to the next paragraph (VO-right arrow)

Expected results:
Keyboard focus moves to the next (second) paragraph

Actual results:
Keyboard focus stays at the current (first) paragraph

Regression:
Tested on OS X 10.8.4 with LO 4.2 master (specifically 39a78087890fb9255a5e47220bac6cfb956fcfe0).

Notes:
Ideally all the paragraphs would form a single virtual text area using AXSharedTextUIElements, but that's another story for a time when more serious bugs will be fixed.

Can not reproduce with OSX 10.10.1 and LO 4341

Switching paragraphs down via Cmd-Option-Down arrow works and reads out text paragraph

By "can not reproduce", do you mean that when doing "Steps to reproduce" 1.-5. exactly as I described them, you get the "Expected results" and no longer the "Actual results"?

Unless that is the case, this bug cannot be closed, because no matter if you find another way to switch paragraphs (like Cmd-Option-arrow down), moving VoiceOver cursor from one paragraph object to another must move also the keyboard focus with it, as described in "Expected results".

Ah, opk, I misunderstood, sorry about that, I thought it was just about VoiceOver reading out the correct paragraph with the keyboard command switch. Confirming.
