--- Comment #4 from Peter Vágner <pvagner at pvagner.tk> ---
The description mentions visual appearance when using the feature. When
considering visual aspect it appears to be a minor issue.
However when also considering access with a screen reader it turns to be more
serious, at least according to my initial testing.

Consider following steps:
* create a new empty document in writer.
* Press F6 key several times until the focus moves to the standard toolbar.
* On the standard toolbar use right key to navigate until you find a button
called Symbol.
* When activating this button by pressing spacebar the group expands and the
More characters button receives the focus. Using tab key or arrow keys to
navigate causes orca to report nothing.
* When activating the Symbols toolbar button by pressing the enter key, the
group expands and More characters button is also activated showing the Special
characters dialog the same way activating Insert -> Special characters... from
the menu bar does. I can't say if this is a feature or a bug.

The fact screen reader users are getting no feetback when using standard
navigation keyboard shortcuts while the More characters button is focused is
definatelly a bug and I'd prefer to have that fixed even if it reintroduces bug
113352 since that feature is also accessible via the menu bar. In other words
when comparing these two bugs this one has higher priority to me.
I haven't tested other builds so I can't say if no screen reader feetback is
related to the appearance change described in previous comments.

Version: 6.2.1.2
Build ID: 6.2.1-1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded
