Bug#494378: gnome-orca: Fails to read Open office writer styles and formatting panel

[Sam Hartman]

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 2.22.2-1
Severity: normal



Hi.  Feel free to reassign to openoffice.org-writer or to jointly assign to gnome-orca and the other package.
Upstmream at least seems to have a number of bugs about accessibility of various packages, but I can't tell how you want to handle it for Debian.

Gnome-orca cannot read the styles and formatting panel in Open Office.
As a result you cannot add a style, apply styles to text, etc.  That
makes it basically impossible to use opennofice.org-writer in a
professional context.  As far as I can tell the problem is that the
widgets in question simply are not accessible.
