Hello, for those interested, I found out that at least LibreOffice Writer (I have tried 5.3.0) is actually able to read back text in the document edit field when typing or navigating within the document if I enable the "Book mode with two pages as in an open book". Although with some inconveniences, particularly, each line of text is treated as a separate edit field which causes VoiceOver to announce extra information each time you move to another line.
However, there are more accessibility issues in LibreOffice, for instance, some pop-up menus are not working and some parts of Preferences cannot be accessed or lead to an application crash, that is, almost the same problems as in OpenOffice, but at least the most important thing, screen reader feedback in the document content, is working in LibreOffice, as opposed to OpenOffice.
