Description oc 2005-03-24 09:11:07 UTC 
On Windows start JAWS 6.0 and enable the support for accessibility tools in OOo.
Now start a spreadsheet => OOo freezes and allocates a lot of memory

OC=>MT: This happens also with OOo1.1.4 therefor this issue is set to OOo2.0.1
Comment 1 eric.savary 2005-03-31 07:35:08 UTC 
set accessibility keyword.
Comment 2 kla 2005-04-11 15:24:59 UTC 
kla->Mt: Same behaviour with ZoomText 7.11. and 8.1.
Comment 3 malte_timmermann 2005-04-12 14:44:51 UTC 
MT->NN:

I assume we removed the hack to expose only a limited number of cells to AT.

Seems we must change that on Windows: Default is to do the hack, and introduce
an environmant variable "DISABLE_AT_CELLCOUNT_HACK", so people with 'working' AT
can get all information they need.

IMHO it's not enough to introduce an environmant variable for *activating* the
hack, because people will not know what to do if calc freezes.

Please check if this can be done for OOo 2.0
Comment 4 kla 2005-04-13 08:13:07 UTC 
kla->MT / NN: Same with Gnopernicus Screen reader (JDS 3)
Comment 5 oc 2005-04-13 09:32:22 UTC 
2.o approved by TZ
Comment 6 sascha.ballach 2005-04-13 14:30:50 UTC 
After testing a little bit with the different Java versions and access bridge
versions we found out, the the Office works at its best with Java 1.5 and Java
Access Bridge 2.0 Beta, which you can found here:

http://java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/accessbridge/index.html

Also the Java Access Bridge 1.0.3 works. The versions between these two don't work.

For Jaws we need another solution, but because it did also not work on OOo 1.1.4
I suggest to change the target to OOo 2.0.1 or 2.0.2.
Comment 7 oc 2005-04-14 14:52:17 UTC 
Set to 2.01 because only JAWS is affected and this happened also in OOo1.4
Comment 8 niklas.nebel 2005-05-10 15:23:45 UTC 
According to MT, it works with JAWS 6.10.
Comment 9 oc 2005-05-19 09:37:02 UTC 
Sorry, but is does not (JAWS 6.10, Java 1.502, Accessbridge 2.01)
Comment 10 malte_timmermann 2005-08-16 12:47:56 UTC 
MT->OC: Works for me with OOo m122, JAWS 6.2 and Access Bridge 2 BETA2

It looks like it hangs, because cursor keys don't work, but that's JAWS fault, if 
they hook them for some reason...
Comment 11 oc 2005-09-05 14:05:59 UTC 
fixed with the Version 6.2 of JAWS
Comment 12 oc 2005-09-05 14:07:06 UTC 
closed because works with latest version of JAWS 6.2
