LibreOffice Calc: report selected cell coordinates #6897
Comments
hi. |
@zahra21 yes in Excel this is supported. In Libre Calc this is still an issue. Right? |
It seems that LibreOffice developer Tamás Zolnai committed a patch related to this issue (adding selection-changed event). bug 93825 – Missing accessibility events when selecting/deselecting cells in Calc cc @leonardder: Could you please check, if this is helpful? Thanks. |
Is this in a release already?
|
Yes, developer Tamás Zolnai pointed out that it is available in 5.2.4. @leonardder |
I tested with the most recent version, but without luck I'm afraid.
|
In this case, LibreOffice developer said "selection change event is added." |
I actually have the feeling that, though there is now a selection change
event, there is no focus event fired when selecting another cell. We
might be able to fix this on our end, but I'll have to investigate this.
I'd rather have LibreOffice doing this correctly, but for me personally,
it is not that much of a high priority honestly.
|
Is anyone working on this? It's still an issue in libreoffice 7.0.2 and nvda 2020.3 |
Apart from the patch refered to in #6897 (comment), it looks like LibreOffice people aren't that accessibility minded unfortunately. |
Do we have examples of this? Were the correct bugs ever filed against libreoffice to make them aware of the issue? I'm not a developer so can't file the bugs myself as i wouldn't know what to point at or what the behind the seens tech speak would be. |
A number of accessibility bugs filed, many issues here with the I have tried to reach out to a few developers who work on libreoffice, for the record NV Access is willing to work with libreoffice developers to help solve these issues. They can contact us via info@nvaccess.org to start a conversation. |
There is an issue on LibreOfice's bug tracker for this, which goes back to 2016: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100086 (with references to an older issue again). |
This is a feature request that NVDA report selected cell coordinates.
Steps to reproduce:
NVDA report: nothing
expected: a1 through a2 selected
NVDA report: space
expected: a1 through amj1 selected
