            Bug ID: 143818
           Summary: Writer form fields are not accessible using only the
                    keyboard [accessibility]
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: c_strobbe-fdo at yahoo.co.uk

Description:
Form fields are not accessible using only the keyboard; they cannot be reached
using the TAB key (or any other key, apparently) and therefore cannot be filled
in.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a Writer document, add a few form fields, such as a text entry field
(e.g. for the user's name), a numeric field, a date field and a set of option
buttons.
2. Go to File -> Properties -> Security and check the option "Open file
read-only". This makes sure that users just fill in the field instead of
modifying the form (as explained in Chapter 15 of the LibreOffice Writer
Guide).
3. Save the file, close it and reopen it.
4. Without using the mouse, try to reach any of the form fields using the TAB
key; none of the fields receives focus. Move around the document using the
arrow keys; the cursor moves through any text above and below the fields and
through the labels, but the form fields are ignored.
5. When using the mouse to put the focus into the first field, it becomes
possible to TAB to some of the other fields (the numeric field and the date
field) but not the set of option buttons / radio buttons).

Actual Results:
When using only the TAB key, none of the form fields receive focus; it is
impossible to fill the form without using the mouse to put the cursor into the
first field or on the set of radio buttons.

Expected Results:
Using the TAB key should cycle the focus through the form fields in the order
in which they are arranged in the document.


Reproducible: Always
