254998 - Caret tracking fails to reach much (most?) of the document in a reasonable fashion

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 241023

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Peter Korn]

1. Launch Mozilla
2. Go to http://www.sun.com
3. Press F7 to turn on caret browsing mode
4. Press TAB once to get into the document, at roughly the beginning
5. Discover that it is virtually impossible to reach all of the document just by
using the caret (arrow keys, Ctrl-arrow keys, etc.).  
 a. Using down arrow alone only reaches a small portion of the left column (see
bug #254997)
 b. Using Ctrl-Right-arrow to read by word only gets to the end of the first
line (ending in the search button).  Note: the way it reads by word is also
broken (subject of a bug to be filed shortly...).
 c. Once you reach the end of the top-most line, down arrow does nothing
 d. If you think to press down arrow when in the middle of the top line, at say
somewhere in the middle of the words/link "How To Buy", you get several blank
lines where the caret is hidden, and then you reach the text/link "see all
features >>", skipping over huge portions of the document

Ginn, if there's no new information here, just mark it a dup of bug 241023.
