4.0.0_release_blocker requested: [Bug 121510] Accessibility broken with Java7

[bu...@apache.org]

V Stuart Foote <vs...@utsa.edu> has asked Rob Weir <ro...@apache.org>
for 4.0.0_release_blocker:
Bug 121510: Accessibility broken with Java7
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121510


------- Additional Comments from V Stuart Foote <vs...@utsa.edu>
changes to JDK 1.7 java.awt.DefaultKeyboardFocusManager require additional
interface test that accessible components calling isFocusableWindow are also
found isDisplayable(), and setting and verifying isFocusable() for
java.awt.Component extended classes.

resolved by David O. on the LibreOffice project side with adjustments to:

Dialog.java
Frame.java
Windows.java
ComboBox.java

ref TDF https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58995

With IAccessibile2 delayed to at least a 4.1 release, returning support for JRE
1.7 and Java Access Bridge v2.0.3 for the growing number of Windows users
pushed onto that JRE by Oracle autoupdate proceedures is becomming more urgent
for acceptable AOO Accessibility and its availability of AT tools support on
Windows platform.

Nominating as a 4.0.0 release blocker as scope of code changes needed to fix
Accessibility for Windows users are well described and easily achieved.
