Re: [g-a-devel] Label both before and after an editable?

It's something beyond my .ui file knowledge to comment knowingly, but it sounds weird with me that you can add new relations into that file, but you cannot define an accessible name there :)

Anyway, new relations will require to change ATK standard and then add screen readers support, and LibreOffice may be the only one who will expose them. So LibreOffice-only solution has to exists, that makes developer's life easier, and doesn't require any standards changes.

Ok, but that can't be expressed that way in a LibreOffice UI file :)

Making developer's life easier (only having to mark labels before/after)
would help with getting things fixed.  In the case at stake, I would
very easily patch the .ui file to fix the accessibility issue by just
adding relations. Modifying the source code to compute an accessible
name would be *way* more involved for me.
