GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 382880
No speech output when tabbing among cells in OOo Writer tables
Last modified: 2006-12-12 21:12:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: When navigating among cells in OOo Writer tables via Tab, Orca displays the contents of the current cell in braille but does not speak them. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Orca 2. Open a OOo Writer document that contains a table (e.g. the one I attached to this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382408) 3. Move focus into the table 4. Press Tab to move from cell to cell Actual results: The braille display correctly updates to reflect the new location, but nothing is spoken. Expected results: Orca would also speak the contents (or at least the first word) of the cell that just received focus. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
Created attachment 77780 [details] full debug.out In the attached, I arrowed to the cell that contains "Sun" and to the one that contains "Mon". Notice the speech output lines. After that I tabbed among cells, and there are no associated speech output lines.
I take it back. My patch to bug #382415 might have now enabled speaking the new cells as you tab to them in Writer (tested with table-sample.odt). It still doesn't provide any feedback when you are arrowing left or right within an entry in the "paragraph" within the current cell. I'll look at that next, when we are happy with the fix for bug #382415.
Yep, your patch to bug #382415 does seem to address this problem as well. The resulting behaviors that I commented upon in the other bug are also present when you Tab among cells. So, with any luck, the final fix for bug #382415 will fix this bug in the process.
I've just checked in a modified version of the patch for bug #382415. Closing as FIXED.
