Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Spin Boxes Do Not Seem to Work Correctly

Hi Richard,

I quickly tried with the current development version of LibreOffice and 
can reproduce the behavior you describe using the NVDA screen reader on 
Windows.

The value is changed when pressing the up or down key, but the screen 
reader does not say the new value, so that looks like an accessibility 
bug indeed.
The value is spoken when directly typing a value instead using the 
keyboard, e.g. pressing the key "3".

I have created a bug report in Bugzilla:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140594

(As a side note: This works fine when using the "gtk3" VCL plugin in 
Linux instead.)
