By default, a vcl::Window's XAccessible is its VCLXWindow (toolkit peer): css::uno::Reference< css::accessibility::XAccessible > Window::CreateAccessible() { css::uno::Reference< css::accessibility::XAccessible > xAcc( GetComponentInterface(), css::uno::UNO_QUERY ); return xAcc; } However, that's a virtual method and subclasses can return a different XAccessible. MenuFloatingWindow::CreateAccessible returns the accessible of its menu. However, winaccessibility's AccTopWindowListener code was relying on the Window's XAccessible always being its VCLXWindow. The VLCXWindow is passed as a param in the XTopWindowListener methods, and AccTopWindowListener was querying it for the XAccessible interface, and then calling XAccessible::getAccessibleContext in order to retrieve the XAccessibleContext for the window. This is incorrect if the Window actually has another XAccessible. For the df#164093 scenario with NVDA running, opening and closing the sidebar popup menu would result in the VCLXWindow's VCLXWindow::getAccessibleContext menu getting called, which calls VCLXWindow::CreateAccessibleContext and the VCLXWindow would keep a reference to the returned XAccessibleContext and dispose it when the VLCXWindow itself gets disposed. However, AccessibleFactory::createAccessibleContext (called by VCLXWindow::CreateAccessibleContext) doesn't actually create a new object for the MenuFloatingWindow's accessible, but returns the existing accessible object of the PopupMenu, which is owned by the PopupMenu, not the MenuFloatingWindow, s.a. previous commit Change-Id: Ia2931bee23204395e8b3396927acf4fa1d0f077c Author: Michael Weghorn <m.weghorn@posteo.de> Date: Thu Dec 5 11:06:48 2024 +0000 tdf#164093 tdf#157001 a11y: Improve menu window disposal for more details.

This fixes the tdf#164093 crash. The problem of tdf#157001 where items in the popup menu of Calc's organize template dialog are only announced the first time the menu is opened still remains for now, but is also somehow related to the MenuFloatingWindow being disposed. (No longer reproducible when no longer calling the base class FloatingWindow::dispose from MenuFloatingWindow::dispose in a local test, still needs further analysis.)

Windows Accessibility Bridge
This code provides a bridge between our internal Accessibility
interfaces (implemented on all visible 'things' in the suite: eg.
windows, buttons, entry boxes etc.) - and the Windows MSAA
/
IAccessible2
COM interfaces that are familiar to windows users and
Accessible Technologies (ATs) such as the NVDA screen reader.
The code breaks into three bits:
-
source/service/
- the UNO service providing the accessibility bridge. It essentially listens to events from the LibreOffice core and creates and synchronises COM peers for our internal accessibility objects when events arrive.
-
source/UAccCom/
- COM implementations of the
MSAA
/IAccessible2
interfaces to provide native peers for the accessibility code.
- COM implementations of the
-
source/UAccCOMIDL/
- COM Interface Definition Language (IDL) for UAccCom.
Here is one way of visualising the code / control flow
VCL <-> UNO toolkit <-> UNO a11y <-> win a11y <-> COM / IAccessible2
vcl/ <-> toolkit/ <-> accessibility/ <-> winaccessibility/ <-> UAccCom/
Threading
It's possible that the UNO components are called from threads other
than the main thread, so they have to be synchronized. It would be nice
to put the component into a UNO apartment (and the COM components into STA)
but UNO would spawn a new thread for it so it's not possible.
The COM components also call into the same global AccObjectWinManager
as the UNO components do so both have to be synchronized in the same way.
So we use the SolarMutex
for all synchronization since anything else
would be rather difficult to make work. Unfortunately there is a
pre-existing problem in vcl with Win32 Window creation and destruction
on non-main threads where a synchronous SendMessage
is used while
the SolarMutex
is locked that can cause deadlocks if the main thread is
waiting on the SolarMutex
itself at that time and thus not handing the
Win32 message; this is easy to trigger with JunitTests
but hopefully
not by actual end users.
Debugging / Playing with winaccessibility
If an assistive technology like NVDA is running when soffice starts, IA2 should be automatically enabled and work as expected.
'accprobe' can be used to introspect the accessibility hierarchy remotely, checkout:
http://accessibility.linuxfoundation.org/a11yweb/util/accprobe/
But often it's more useful to look at NVDA's text output window.
Another tool is Accessibility Insights for Windows: https://accessibilityinsights.io/ It does not support IAccessible2, but the Microsoft Active Accessibility to Microsoft UIA proxy makes some properties, methods and events available to UIA via the LegacyIAccessible pattern: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winauto/uiauto-implementinglegacyiaccessible
