            Bug ID: 140594
           Summary: Screen reader does not announce new spinbox value when
                    changing it with up/down key (Windows)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: graphics stack
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: m.weghorn at posteo.de

This was originally reported on the accessibility mailing list here:

New values for spinboxes is not announced when changed using up/down keys.

Sample steps to reproduce:

0. enable NVDA or JAWS screen reader
1. start LO Calc
2. go to "Format" -> "Cells" -> "Numbers" tab
3. press tab key a few times until the "Decimal places" spinbox is active (and
current value is read)
4. press the "up" key to increase the value by one

Actual behaviour:

* the value is increased by one
* but the new value is not announced by the screen reader

Expected behaviour:

The new value should be announced by the screen reader, just as happens e.g.
when typing a value manually, e.g. pressing the key "4" instead of using the up
key.

Side note: It works as expected with the gtk3 VCL plugin on Linux (which
presumably uses native Gtk widgets).

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
