Re: [orca-list] Update on (work-in-progress) presentation of selection changes in Calc



Yet another update: Cell contents are also now announced when the cells
become selected/unselected. That leaves whereAmI and presenting the
selected cells when the command to read the selected text is used.

I'll add that next. Also on the to-do list is reading the selected cell
content in whereAmI and when the (unbound) command to read the selected
text is used. In the meantime, testing and feedback is encouraged.

Thanks!

Hey all.

Having Orca present selection changes in Calc is now something I'm
actively working on. I just committed a change to present when entire
rows and or columns get selected or unselected. Mind you, this
functionality assumes that Calc tells us. It doesn't always. Here's one
instance which I can reproduce reliably:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118508. It needs to
be fixed in LibreOffice; not Orca.

I'm also noticing that during selection, the accessible object for the
cell you're in sometimes becomes a zombie. So if you cancel selection,
Orca might give you more details about the table than you'd like.
LibreOffice/Calc should not be destroying objects on us like that. I
still need to come up with a reliable test case. When I do, I'll file
that one as well against LibreOffice.

I have also made progress on -- but not yet committed -- presenting
simple selection changes. There are some associated performance issues
I'm still working on to get this right. With any luck, I'll finish that
tomorrow and commit it.

Stay tuned!
