[orca-list] Likely bug with Office Writer, was: Re: More on submitting Orca bugs

[Christopher Gilland <clgilland07 gmail com>]

OK, then, here we go.


Most recent update of Libreoffice Writer.


Orca 3.31.90 Pre


Ubuntu Mate 18.10.


1. Open writer to a blank new document, and type three lines of text 
respectedly: item1, item2, and item3 all on their own line.


2. Select all with CTRL+A.


3. Go to the formatting toolbar with F6, hit space on the bullets 
button, then enter on one of the bulleted styles, doesn't matter which one.


4. Press CTRL+Home to move to the top of the document, then while at the 
beginning of the first line of text, hit shift+down arrow to select the 
first line of text.


Orca is going to report something very strange.


Item 1 selected, item 2 selected.


So, this leads one to think the first two lines of text, in this case 
the first and second bulleted points are being selected, when, in all 
actuality, this definitely isn't the case. All being selected is the 
first line as you'd expect. Orca's just not reporting this correctly.


I've been able to produce this weird behavior with bulleted lists on 4 
different systems now, not including my friend who also tried, and was 
able to reproduce.
