Sorry if this is a stupid observation, but are you sure your distro packages are the latest Libre Office?
I've actually stopped using distro packages for components about whose accessibility I'm more interested, because they often either lag behind significantly or include broke-ass opinionated fixes (I.e. Ubuntu's changing of Orca settings storage that makes it incompatible with official builds.)
As an alternative, I've found Flatpak/Flathub to be fairly up-to-date WRT modern GNOME and QT apps. You do have to add some global overrides for accessibility, but once those are in place, you've got access to the latest Libre Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. all installable into your home directory or system-wide and integrated with your desktop.
I don't know specifically about your LO issues, but I wouldn't take it as a given that Ubuntu 18.04 ships the latest, or that it hasn't broken accessibility in some way you may not know about.
Hello,
I have only tried impres about a month ago this is version 6.2 I think.
It's very likelly accessibility can be improved but nevertheless I was surprised that list of slides is accessible,
Slide title, slide text possibly other things we can put on a slide are accessible and editable with orca.
Orca won't report objects positions and similar but stil I was impressed I manage to help with a little school presentation to my daughter.Originally she asked for power point however at home we only have computers running arch linux so I've fired up Libreoffice impress and yeah I got surprised.
Greetings
Peter

Hello Krishnakan,
As currently no one works specificaly on LibreOffice accessibility I don't think we could expect improvement in LibreOffice accessibility in the future.
The only way I see should be to propose to the TDF to employ someone to work on this subject.
Best regards.

Hello all,
I recently thought of trying out Libre Office Impress to see if accessibility has improved.
I am on Ubuntu 18.04 with all the latest updates.
This means that Impress is also up to date.
I see there is still no improvement in accessibility.
Is that correct or am I missing out something?
I suspect this could be not so much due to Orca but problems with Impress accessibility infrastructure itself.
