GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 430402
Orca unable to speak last character of each "sentence" when doing a sayAll in OOo Writer
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:28:07 UTC
This is with the latest Orca from SVN trunk/HEAD. Steps to reproduce: 1/ Start Orca 2/ Start OOo Writer 3/ Create a simple OOo Writer document containing: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog 4/ Make sure Orca is set to do "Say All By" Sentence (There's a combo box on the bottom of the speech pane. See last patch to bug #400716). 5/ Use Control-Home to position the cursor at the beginning of the first line. 6/ Hit the + key on the numeric keypad. 7/ Instead of speaking "The quick", Orca speaks "The quic" for the first line. There is a similar problem for each of the other lines. The call in textLines() in default.py to: [string, startOffset, endOffset] = text.getTextAtOffset( offset, atspi.Accessibility.TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_END) returns a string of "The quic" OOo Writer is returning the wrong thing.
I've opened OOo issue #76420 against this. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76420
Issue #76420 just updated with: "Confirmed in fixed in CWS atkbridge6." Should be in a future distribution of OOo 2.3. We'll need to check this when it becomes available.
Removing target milestone from [blocked] bugs. We have little control over them, so we're better off letting priority and severity be our guide for poking the related components.

I just tried this with the version of StarOffice 8 that Oliver pointed me at to look at issue #77106, and this problem is not fixed in there. It's unclear what version of OOo that equates to. I'll see if I can find a version of OOo 2.3 that I can download and try...
Nope. The latest available download from www.openoffice.org appears to be 2.2.1.
Created attachment 91559 [details] debug.out from ooo-dev2.3 Rich, they hide the builds. :-) I got mine from here: http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html I ran your test case with SayAll set to Sentence and Orca seemed to be doing the correct thing. Please see attached debug.out.
Cool. Thanks Joanie. Yup, that's fixed. Closing.
