Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 71744
[a11y] More detail needed for strikethrough attribute
Last modified: 2009-07-20 14:52:49 UTC
There are a number of different strikethrough options available in OOo (single, double, bold, with /, with X). These variants are not currently being exposed via at-spi: strikethrough is either True or False. It would be helpful to users of screen readers to have access to this additional information. Thanks!!
I can confirm this behavior, but OOo behaves exactly like specified at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/atk/AtkText.html: ATK_TEXT_ATTR_STRIKETHROUGH "true" or "false" whether the text is strikethrough Internally, OOo distinguishes between: SINGLE, DOUBLE, DONTKNOW (e.g. multiple overlapping types), BOLD, SLASH and X). So we are discussing atk API extension here ..
Still no clue about the best way to expose this information.
I know it is bad to drift away from specifications, but.... If strikethrough were handled just like underline currently is we'd be set. :-) Just a thought....
I am almost convinced ;-). Only looking for good suggestions on how to name the values for "with /" and "with X" ..
> I am almost convinced ;-). Excellent! ;-) > Only looking for good suggestions on how to name the values > for "with /" and "with X" .. Might I suggest, oh, I dunno.... "with /" and "with X"? :-) :-) :-) :-) Speaking from the screen reader perspective: The reason we want this information exposed is so that we can speak it and/or braille it when the user gives the command to examine the formatting of his/her text. Keeping the exposed types consistent with the names listed in the Strikethrough combo box of the Character dialog would be ideal because the user would be provided with the same type information both when applying the formatting and later on when verifying it. Thanks!!

This issue is closed automatically and wasn't rechecked in a current version of OOo. The fixed issue should be integrated in OOo since more than half a year. If you think this issue isn't fixed in a current version (OOo 3.1), please reopen it and change the field 'Target Milestone' accordingly.
