LibreOffice: Cannot announce status bar in dialogs (e.g. Writer's "Edit Contour" dialog) #15591

Description

@michaelweghorn

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start LibreOffice Writer (tested with LibreOffice 7.6.2)
  2. insert a Formula: "Insert" -> "OLE Object" -> "Formula Object", type any formula, e.g. "1+1=2"
  3. click outside of the formula then click the formula object again to focus it
  4. in Writer's menu, select "Format" -> "Wrap" -> "Edit Contour"
  5. Once the dialog shows up, press NVDA+End to announce the status bar

Actual behavior:

NVDA says:
"no status bar information"

Expected behavior:

NVDA should announce the content of the status bar in that dialog, e.g.:
"0.00" / 0.00" 0.50" x 0.18"
