            Bug ID: 122053
           Summary: kde5: Orca screen reader does not read text for
                    context menus and dialogs
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: m.weghorn at posteo.de

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 12edea426a31f57a9d5b1c65b34fb1336c5534e9
CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

This is not reproducible when using e.g. the gtk3 VCL plugin.

Steps to reproduce:

0) enable the Orca screen reader
1) start LibreOffice Writer
2) type some text, e.g. "hello" -> text is being read by orca (as exepcted)
3) select the text
4) open the context menu by right-clicking
5) navigate through the context menu

Result:

Orca does not read the context menu items aloud.

Expected result:

The text of the context items should be read aloud by Orca.

Notes:

* This works when using the gtk3 VCL plugin instead.
* It also works in other kde applications like kate.
* Orca also does not seem to read out texts for dialogs, e.g. when closing a
document without saving ("Save document?" dialog)
