Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63984
The StarOffice->Security options pane doesn't provide useful information for checkboxes when read with a screen reader.

This is with Solaris x86 (Nevada b34), with JDS/GNOME vermillion_08 build and with StarOffice 8, build m161 (with the new UNO/atkbridge). Tested with the Orca screen reader. Bringup Tools->Options The StarOffice->Security pane has several checkboxes where the text spoken for each one is not specific or very useful. title. In particular: For the following checkboxes: * When saving or sending * When signing * When printing * When creating PDF files * Remove personal information on saving * Recommend password protection on saving What is spoken is the proceeding label: Warn if document contains recorded changes, versions, hidden information or notes: The individual labels for each checkbox should be spoken. (This bug needs an "accessibility" keyword added to it).
TM-ES: please have a look, thanks
ES->OBR: my tests with m172 give me the opposite results to the original description. Meaning: all check boxes are read but the label is never read...
I believe this issue has been fixed along issue 62723, which made it into 2.0.3. Rich, can you confirm that Erics findings in m172 (which should be the same as in OOo 2.0.3) are the desired behaviour ?
I've just installed build m173 on my Solaris x86 box, running GNOME 2.14 and testing with Orca from CVS HEAD. Star Office is completely unaccessible. Nothing is getting spoken or brailled. If I hit F10, the entries in the menubar *disappear* except for the File one. This looks like a *major* regression over previous builds. I suggest you try testing SO for yourselves again the latest Orca.
I can not reproduce your findings with my (rather out-dated) SNV_35 build and GNOME 2.14 from 03/27/06. I will try again after updating to SNV42. I assume you used 'en' version ? m173 has some known problems in other languages. Since m173 includes rather huge code changes due to the "warning free code" project, it would be interesting to know if m172 has the same problem already. Also: what is the content of your GTK_MODULES environment variable ? Thanks, Oliver
Yes I mean "en" version. My GTK_MODULES is: setenv GTK_MODULES gail:atk-bridge
With SNV_42a I can reproduce the menu problem - however, this seems to be more a problem with the new default theme (Nimbus) than with accessibility: switching back to blueprint fixed the problem for me. However, I was able to see the a11y hierarchy with at-poke. Unfortunatly updating from SNV_35 did not work well, so I now have to re-install CBE to get orca back on my system. Or is there a package available for download ?
Thanks for looking at this. I'll email you the location of vermillion builds as I don't want to put an internal pathname on a public server.
The issue with the new Solaris default theme should be handled in a seperate issue. The described issue no longer exists in post 2.0.3. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 62723 ***
