Description Arnaud Versini 2014-07-09 10:41:24 UTC

Hi,

We noticed that LibreOffice 4.3.0.2 is not accessible anymore on Windows:

Steps to reproduce :
- Launch calc with a screen reader (nvda for example), and open a document with content
- Move to another cells
- 

Expected :
- Screen reader should tell you cell coordinate

Current :
- No sound with cell coordinate

Confirming.

On Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US with NVDA 2014.2 with
Version: 4.3.0.2
Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409

and similar with todays TB 39 build of master
Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 3fdd4f069d5436cf39708004af7fda8175fbc4c2
TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-07-09_02:51:54

There is a focus issue on launch of Calc.

Simple to work around by navigate with F2 to formula bar and then back, the cell address and content is then announced. Further navigation with cursor (L,R,U,D) does announce cell address and numerical content.

If cell is empty it is still announcing "Zero" (bug 74441).

And, noticed today that non-numeric (text string) cell content incorrectly being rendered as "zero", it will render correctly from the F2 formula bar. Will open a new issue for this.

Hi,

Our test was based on Windows XP. We saw a general problem as it doesn't happen only while running for the first time. Then, it doesn't affect only numerical data. So the bug seems deeper and larger, I think. Really it happens at no time.

Regards,
