hi again.
by the grace of God,\
finally today i found a solution for my problem.
i write the method that how to resolve problem, but unfortunately it only works
in 5.3, not 5.4 and later!
steps for screen reader users to resolve the issue of reading any message and
dialogs in libreoffice 5.3
1- open libreoffice, (i tested only with writer).
2- press alt+f12 or find the options in the tool menu and activate it.
3- under libreoffice, find advance.
4- between advance settings find expert configuration and activate it.
5- in the edit box, type TextLayoutEngine and press search button.
6- press edit and rename new to old for disabling harfbuzz!
okay, now you can read any dialog box and message using nvda screen reader with
libreoffice 5.3 without any problem!
i tested with the version 5.3.4.2and it worked perfectly.
i am very glad that today i learned expert configuration and i sincerely
appreciate Yousuf Philips, Stuart, and Khaled Hosny that made possible using
libreoffice 5.3 by adding and supporting to add one configuration in expert
configuration to desable harfbuzz!
khaled added one option for disabling and enabling harfbuzz in expert
configurations and
today reading comment of stuart taught me how to enable old engine again in
libreoffice 5.3!

but i did not understand whats the reason that this great option is removed in
5.4!
how should nvda users read dialogs in libreoffice 5.4 and later with harfbuzz
enabled?
i sincerely appreciate you again, God bless you all!
