LibreOffice Calc: Incorrect cell coordinates announced when cell coordinate announcement is disabled #15098

(This was originally reported on LibreOffice's accessibility mailing list. First mail in the thread: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/msg01031.html )

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Disable announcement of cell coordinates in NVDA's settings: under "Document Formatting" -> group "Table information", uncheck the "Cell coordinates" checkbox
  2. start LibreOffice Calc with a fresh document
  3. press the arrow right key a few times and check what NVDA announces (wait a few seconds in between)

Actual behavior:

  • When moving to cell C1, NVDA says "B1", when moving to cell D1, NVDA says "C1", etc. That means, the coordinates of the previously focused cell are announced.

From NVDA's speech viewer output:

Untitled 1 - LibreOffice Calc
Untitled 1 - LibreOffice Spreadsheets  document  editable
Sheet Sheet1  table  editable
right arrow
right arrow
B1
right arrow
C1
right arrow
D1

Expected behavior:

Cell coordinates should not be announced at all when this is disabled. (And if coordinates are announced, they should be the correct ones of the newly focused cell, not of the previous one.)
