Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21241
No AccessibleSelection in context menus
Last modified: 2008-03-14 11:36:21 UTC
It is not possible to select a menu/menuitem at the selection interface of at-poke in context menus. TBE: When using the AWB (Accessibility WorkBench) from AF the selecting of menus and menuitems in context menus via the XAccessibleSelection interface works without problems on Windows and Linux. Of course, the environment variable SAL_FLOATWIN_NOAPPFOCUSCLOSE must be set. In addition, I reproduced the bug together with RU on his PC. In one out of several attempts the bug was not reproduced and the menu item was selected. Probably this is a hint for a race condition? Finally, when selecting a menu item via the XAccessibleAction interface, e.g. a new Font, this works from at-poke without problems. TBE: As discussed with OBR, PL and SSA I set this bug to P4. pl->obr: i built into vcl09 that popups are not closed if said env variable is set to a nonempty value; if this is not sufficient (mouse grab problems), you can also set SAL_DISABLE_FLOATGRAB to a non empty value. Could you have a look whether this fits your/TBE's needs ? Please ask HDU about availability of vcl09 install sets as i'm on vacation next week. obr->ru: you volunteered to verify the fix :) RU -> PL: SO crashes at selecting a font via context menu. Furthermore I cannot work with at-poke as SO also crashes at selecting the menu items. This prevents me from testing that bug. TZ: Why this task is on target '6 Beta2'. I change it to '7 RC'. pl->obr: changes are in for a while (they are definitely in a 645m5); could you please try if this works now; gnomeland doesn't like me an if you start accessibility on a mercury gnome all applications begin to crash at random intervals. obr->pl: unfortunatly this still doesn't work: selecting any item from a context menu does nothing but closing the context menu itself :( obr->tz,ak: since this is a P4, I recommend to set this task to target 'Q'. ak: I can follow the recommendation -> 'Q'
Bug was migrated from iBIS.
Retargeted to 'OOo Later' and P4.
re-targeted to OOo 3.0
target
pl->tbe: Is this happening still ? I don't even know how I would test this.
Tested again (a DEV300_m2) on Solaris Nevada (77) with accerciser: selected "Character .." context menu item from the soffice accessibility tree, expanded "Action" node on the Interface Viewer tab-page, selected "click" action and pressed "Perform action" button => the Character dialog pops up. Nice ! Tested a few other menu items as well and did not find any problems any more.
