Re: [orca-list] Libreoffice Calc is Pissing me off These Days!

hi
Could you send me some nonsensitive spreadsheets to test with? Just one 
will do. I'm trying to get a handle on exactly what's going wrong, and I 
don't have any spreadsheets to work with. I don't think gnome has much 
to do with lo. That said, if there are problems, this needs to be 
reported to this list so joanie can take a look. I'll take care of that 
you don't need to if you don't want to. If libreoffice calc isn't 
working like it should it needs to be fixed. As for the a11y fixes, I'm 
not completely sure. I do remember quite a few were worked around in 
orca back before 3.18 was released, and there were a couple of writer 
fixes. I don't have specifics off the top of my head but I can probably 
find something. If  all your spreadsheets are sensitive some sample 
spreadsheets would do on the web, if I can find any. I need a fairly 
complex one, though it obviously can't have ms macros since libreoffice 
apparently throws a fit with those.
Thanks
