[orca-list] Critical usage on LO

[MENGUAL Jean-Philippe <texou actux eu org>]

Hi,

Given that bugs I see on LO become a problem for users I try to help, I 
think the situation becomes really complicated. Orca has indeed much 
problems /ith latest Office (Libre/Open) releases. Bugs are difficult to 
describe all, but I experience:
- Calc: in LO 4.3.5 or latest OOo, the braille display shows weird 
signs, even if the screen is blank actually. Speech synth speaks 
everything, but braille displays these wei!d char, and sometimes put 
them at the middle of 9ords (that actually, Espeak says);
- Calc: if a line has a Return and is longer than the size of the cell, 
Calc crashes. It seems it happens mostly when Orca is enable.
- Writer: tables not readable
- Writer: when focus changes page of a document, Orca stops working. 
Helping Orca means pressing a letter then removing it, or moving with 
large movements, etc.

For a regular usage of LO, these problems are critical. Is it possible 
to have some discuss with LO-a11y team to see how we can improve? Is it 
really LO the problem? Shouldn't Orca have some patches?

My team could try, but needs to accomplish MATE and Compiz stuff just 
now. Couldn't someone try starting to work on this? At least to target 
the bug?

Thanks,

Regards,
