Screenshot of Accerciser showing widgets in the sidebar which lack names
This screen shot shows radio buttons and checkboxes without any accessible names. So Orca says "radio button" and "checkbox" but not what those radio buttons and checkboxes actually control/toggle. Please give them accessible names (like "gallery", without any roles in the name).
I pushed a fix to gerrit for review to fix the first issue (Panel: Character) and I'm looking into the other issues as soon as possible. Niklas Johansson committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=0fc79344ce5e057f7c2258a0fe16374fe510745f tdf#90994 Sidebar tab bar buttons should should have accessible names It will be available in 5.0.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.

Dear LibreOffice contributor, I've done a test with LibreOffice 5.1.2 and it works correctly. Thanks to Niklas Johansson for it great work. |
Created attachment 115239 [details] Screenshot of Accerciser showing the accessible names of widgets in the Writer sidebar Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch LibreOffice Writer 2. Launch Accerciser 3. Use Accerciser to examine the widgets in the sidebar Expected results: The accessible names would be meaningful and not include roles. Actual results: The accessible names are not always meaningful and Do include roles. Examples: * An accessible of role panel whose name is "Panel: Character". As a result, Orca will present it as "Panel: Character panel" * An accessible of role tool bar whose name is "Tool Bar". Telling Orca users that they are in the "Tool Bar tool bar" isn't especially useful. * The accessible panel named "Properties" is great -- but why is it contained in another panel with the same name? The impact of this is that when the former first gets focused, the latter is presented as part of the context of the new location. "Properties panel Properties panel". See attached screenshot.
