Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14744
Spin Buttons via UNO API not reachable
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:07:50 UTC
The spin buttons ie. from a numeric field are not rechable via accessibility
set target to OOo 2.0
.
as discussed with Malte Timmermann, Oliver Braun, Thomas Benisch -> target oOOLater
add keyword "accessibility"
re-targeted to OOo 3.0
As discussed with CN re-targeted to OOo 2.x.
this breaks also an automatic SDK-Test in developersguide.basicanddialogs.toolkitcontrols
set target to OOo 2.4
As discussed with CN set to defect.
changed summary, as this issue is required from API testing
I had a look at Gnome and Java. In Gnome a spin button appears as one element in the accessibilty hierarchy. No special actions for incrementing or decrementing a value are available. In Java a spin button also appears as one element in the accessibility hierarchy, but the accessible actions 'increment' and 'decrement' are available. I discussed this issue with MT and OBR. As no AT tool requests this functionality and the only customer of such a functionality would be the API testing, we decided to not fix this issue. In addition, although this issue would be an enhancement of the A11Y API, the accessibility keyword is wrong. API testing needs the possibility to increment/decrement the values of a spin button via UNO API. Due to the shortcomings of the toolkit API the A11Y API is used instead. But in principal one can think of extending the toolkit API for providing this functionality. Therefore I will remove the accessibility keyword and set the target OOo Later.
