FWIW, on macOS asks for the full array of cells and so LibreOffice's macOS 
accessibility code returns an array of all cells only if the total rows times 
columns is less than 1000. Otherwise, it returns an array containing only the 
visible cells.

Also, when querying for selected children, the code returns an array with only 
the first 1000 selected cells.
