Re: [orca-list] What is the accessibility of the new style component of LibreOffice 5 ?

Hi Alex.

The chattiness when arrowing should be something I can filter out in
Orca. If not, I'll file a bug.

As for what happens when you press F11: When I press it, it appears but
doesn't have focus. I have to press Alt+F6 to give it focus. This is not
a lack of accessibility events; it's a lack of you winding up in the
newly-opened window. Orca presents where you are; it does not present
where you are not. While I could probably have Orca announce that a
window appeared and you are not in it, it would be far more preferable
if LibreOffice put focus there for all users.
