            Bug ID: 137268
           Summary: Accessibility: Text boxes for entering distances don't
                    expose value to screen reader
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tim at dvlop.nl

Description:
 Many dialogs in Writer contain text fields for entering distances (e.g.
heighth / width / margins)
Those text fields don't seem to expose their value to screen readers so I need
to copy the value to the clipboard and paste it into some other place to read
it. 


Steps to Reproduce:
Open E.G. the "position and size" dialog for an object.1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
NVDA reads the first field which gets focus as "width: spin button editable alt
+ w". It does not read the value (E.G. 1.00 cm).   

Expected Results:
NVDA should read the value of this text field. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Version: 7.0.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: 7cbcfc562f6eb6708b5ff7d7397325de9e764452
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
I am using the NVDA 2020.2 screen reader. The problem also occurs with my JAWS
2020 screen reader so it is probably screen reader independent.
