Description Alex ARNAUD 2017-02-06 15:40:27 UTC

Description:
Dear all,

Environment :
- Debian 8.7
- Both in LibreOffice 5.3.x and 5.4.0.0.alpha0+ (GTK2)

After moving the caret on a line with the down arrow key, all the previous lines no longer emit a caret-moved event.

The caret-moved event is used by screen readers to announce the text on the screen to the blind user, so if this event isn't emitted it is not possible to read any text.

The issue is confirmed by the Orca (screen reader) community : https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2017-February/msg00053.html

Best regards.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the python listener
2. Open the attached ODT document
3. Press down arrow
4. Press up arrow

Actual Results:  
No caret-moved events emitted

Expected Results:
caret-moved events should be emitted on you move the caret on each lines


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated yesterday, I get this (I added "produced" comments):

The same behavior using 5.3.0.3 in an arch box.

Dear all,

I've bibisected on the repository "bibisect-linux-64-5.3".

It's my first bibisect on LibreOffice, let me know if I made something wrong :).

Best regards.

Thank you for the bibisection, Alex. So this is certainly a duplicate of bug 104381, and very serious, I'll add the results there.
