I thought I filed one, but I'm not seeing it. Feel free to report it in
the LibreOffice bug tracker.

The notable issue would be in the form of chattiness and it could happen
in any application which emits caret-moved events, including (but
definitely not limited to) LibreOffice.

Regardless, Orca should not present information related to objects which
are not shown to the user. If Orca does that, it is an Orca bug. Rather
than my deliberately putting a bug back into Orca which might have
unwanted chattiness as a side effect, wouldn't it not make more sense to
fix this issue in LibreOffice? Perhaps Hypra could make that contribution.

It strikes me as a bad idea. But what you do downstream (i.e. in any
product you ship) is, of course, up to you.
