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.
