Re: [orca-list] LibreOffice Writer : no announcement when enter/quit header or footer

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi Alex.

I can reproduce the problem as described. The main issue is that the
Writer header and footer claim to have an index in parent of -1, and
that's the sort of thing that suggests a broken hierarchy. Then I
examined the window using Accerciser, and found that Accerciser doesn't
show most of the objects in the window. And does show a an object named
<dead>. Which also suggests a broken hierarchy. Hacking around this
would potentially introduce more bugs than it would fix.
