but i am sure that i asked this problem in nvda user maling list and someone
confirms this problem in libreoffice 6.0!
why invalid?
its a new bug which introducing harfbuzz made for nvda users!
it does not depend on my windows, i am sure that i used remote control program
and tested in the system of one person who has windows ten and observed this
issue!
i tested with libreoffice 5.3.0.3 remotely, but on that time, i did not know
about harfbuzz and how to disable it!
so, my report is not specific for one windows version and specific version of
nvda!
its one of the bugs that introducing harfbuzz made and i did not find any
solution for resolving this issue except disabling harfbuzz as i mentioned that
today i learned from your comment!
why khaled removed the option for disabling harfbuzz in 5.4?
even if libreoffice 6.0, did not support xp, i never used it, because of not
possible to read dialogs and messages in screen review!
