Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26277
"Are you sure you want to quit" dialog should have AccessibleRole "ALERT"
Last modified: 2006-02-08 12:52:52 UTC
The (mostly) agreed-upon convention for screen readers to automatically read dialog boxes when they pop up is for them to have the AccessibleRole "ALERT". The dialog you get when you try to quit the installer should be automatically read, and so needs to have the AccessibleRole ALERT.
of @ es: I suppose this something you are looking at?
ES->OBR: do we track such dialog boxes?
If this bug appears in the installer only, it does not make sense to target it for OOo Later (not even for OOo 2.0): the installer is already gone. I have to check whether there are other examples in the office code.
Thinking a couple of minutes over this, I believe we have a lot of such messages in the office. Stephan, is there a common way to identify such alerts or do we need to change each implementation ?
I'm not sure how these dialogs are implemented, but there are classes like InfoBox, QueryBox, WarningBox and ErrorBox (all in VCL) that seem to be good candidates for this role.

I believe this also needs some tweaks in the Java<->UNO AccessBridge to work.
Fixed in CWS accessalert.
ES->OBR: it works fine on JDS with Gnopernicus but not on Windows with JAWS/ZT re-open issue and reassign to obr@openoffice.org
reassign to obr@openoffice.org
reset resolution to FIXED

This just means ZT/ JAWS don't care about the role being DIALOG or ALERT. Unless this change doesn't have negative impact on ZT/JAWS, I propose to verify the issue using JavaMonkey. re-open issue and reassign to es@openoffice.org
reassign to es@openoffice.org
verified in CWS accessalert
