So what would you recommend? Is this something you can help with, on the test definition or execution side? My naive approach would be, "Make sure you can perform all test cases with just the keyboard". Or is there a more targeted way to do this? A regression test (as opposed to a full functional test) tries to be smart about coverage and focuses on the areas that have changed in the most recent version. In other words, it puts the effort where the risk is greatest. So, given what we know about AOO 3.4.1 keyboard support, and knowing what was changed in AOO 4.0, my guess would be the area to focus on would be the sidebar, yes? Translations are another area where I bet there is risk introduced. It is always possible for an accelerator collision to be introduced accidentally during translation. And the translations come in rather late in the process, after most testing. I wonder if we have any automated ways of detecting collisions? Any other areas that would make sense to focus on?
