Re: [orca-list] LibreOffice Calc, has accessibility changed between 3.5 and 4.2 and or 4.3?

[Mike Ray <mike raspberryvi org>]

My experience of LibreOffice calc, or LibreOffice of any kind is only
very recent and very sparse.  I started to look at it after a great
series of podcasts on Hacker Public Radio about calc.

One thing I noticed is a strange effect when opening a new spreadsheet...

When a new sheet is opened, sometimes things are totally silent until
you first enter something into a cell, whereupon Orca bursts into life.
 So what i normally do with a new sheet is to enter nonsense into the
first cell, arrow around to confirm Orca is now speaking and then delete
the nonsense from the first cell again.

I am not sure this happens if you go via the stage of picking from calc,
writer etc.
