Created attachment 44258 [details] Accerciser screenshot: Spin Button exposes ROLE_PUSH_BUTTON to AT-SPI. A spin button in Libre Office calc spreadsheet doesn't expose ROLE_SPIN_BUTTON to AT-SPI. It exposes ROLE_PUSH_BUTTON. If it exposes the correct role viz. ROLE_SPIN_BUTTON, assistive tools like a screen reader can use the information to improve accessibility of the spreadsheet. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Libre Office calc. Create a new spreadsheet. Add a spin button. Turn Design Mode off. Save the spreadsheet. 2. Start Accerciser accessibility explorer. 3. Go to the accessible tree view at top left. As shown in attached screen-shot, select the accessible object corresponding to the spin button just created. The Role column shows 'push button'. 4. In the plug-in view at top right, select Interface Viewer. The first line shows the role as 'push button'. though the name shown is Spin Button 1. 5. Go to the IPythonConsole at bottom. Command acc.getRole() returns the role as ROLE_PUSH_BUTTON.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Today I rechecked my observation with Libre Office dev 3.5.0 beta2 and found that the bug persists. I suggest that the bug be moved back to NEW status.
Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian
I don't know how I missed the bugmail, but this was never addressed.
Okay
