Description Dave Malcolm 2006-05-13 23:25:43 UTC
Description of problem:
The various OpenOffice applications are only partially visible in the a11y framework

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
at-spi-1.7.7-6
openoffice.org-impress-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-core-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-math-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-calc-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-base-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-writer-2.0.2-5.9.3
openoffice.org-draw-2.0.2-5.9.3


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Ensure a11y is enabled
  * Go to the desktop Preferences menu -> Preferences -> Accessibility ->
Assistive Technology Support
  * Ensure that the "Enable assistive technologies" checkbox is checked
  * Restart desktop session if necessary
2.  Install dogtail from Fedora Extras
3.  Start "oowriter"
4.  Run "sniff" (from dogtail), and try to find oowriter in the tree view
  
Actual results:
(i) The following is output:
GTK Accessibility Module initialized

** (swriter.bin:3434): WARNING **: unable to parse at-spi version number:
libspi.so.0

(ii) Within sniff the following hierarchy is visible:
  +-- main
      +--  various apps
      +--  swriter.bin (application)
           +-- Untitled1 - OpenOffice.org Writer (frame)
               +-- (untitled panel, with no descendents)

Expected results:
(i) We should see the "GTK Accessibility Module initialized", but the 2nd
message looks bogus.
(ii) There ought to be a complex hierarchy below swriter.bin, giving the full UI
of the program

Additional info:
Also seen with ooimpress and oocalc; looks like it affects the whole suite.

Comment 1 Caolan McNamara 2006-05-15 09:26:59 UTC
The a11y stuff is now the default upstream a11y solution, but they've added some
version checking stuff which isn't working. Have a simple workaround for this.
