Menu navigation bug in OpenOffice Writer

[pleveris]

Steps to reproduce:

Open Writer appliccation. Press alt to bring up the menu bar. Press right arrow a few times to go to the Format submenu, press enter. Press down arrow to go to the symbol... menu item Press enter to activvate this dialog. Then, press escape to go out of the dialog (to the main window). Press alt. Navigate to the format submenu.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should say "Format submenu"

Actual behavior:

NVDA goes to silence when the focus is on the format submenu. If you press escape and go to there next time, this again will be spoken, but if you go in ssome dialog inside that submenu, after coming back and trying to access it again there is no speech.

System configuration:

NVDA version: next-15363,a87d8187

NVDA Installed or portable: installed

Other information: Tried with all add-ons disabled, everything restored to the factory defaults, the same situation. I think this might be OpenOffice Writer accessibility issue as I noticed a few focus bugs here as well (could not currently remember the exact situation.) Windows version: Windows 10 Insider (64-bit) build 17134.112 OpenOffice Writer version 4.00.9789

Other questions:

Does the issue still occur after restarting your PC? Yes.

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? Yes.

I don't have OO installed to test this on. Does this happen with libre office too?

Same problem. Windows 7, Open Office 4.1.5, NVDA 2018.3 beta3. When NVDA is silent, information about the object is the following:

role: ROLE_MENUITEM states: STATE_FOCUSABLE, STATE_HASPOPUP isFocusable: True hasFocus: False

maybe it's important.

In Libre office 6.2.2 the problem is not occuring.

Comming back to this, in Open Office 4.1.7 following is also written to the NVDA log when reproducing this issue:

ERROR - displayModel.DisplayModelTextInfo._get__storyFieldsAndRects (22:54:33.493) - MainThread (12348):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Issue is still present in OO 4.1.15. If you arrow past the "Insert" menu and then back to it, the menu is read again.
