255073 - Text-entry fields missing AccessibleNames, AccessibleEditableText - tested with GOK

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Peter Korn]

1. Launch GOK
2. Launch Mozilla with page http://www.sun.com
3. Select GOK UI-Grab
4. Note the appearance of two text entry fields, labeled "Text Entry (empty)". 
These should have distinct names.  The first is for the URL, which should be
displayed as "URL" (and not be seen as "empty" at all).  The second is the
Search field of the web page which has been appropriately labeled in the source
html, and should be displayed in GOK with that label.

If you set the AtkRelation for these entry fields so that they point to the
correspinding labels, and vice versa:

label has AtkRelation LABEL_FOR, pointing to entry field,
entry-field has AtkRelation LABELLED_BY, pointing to the label,

then this problem will be solved for GOK and also for gnopernicus and other
screen readers.  All text entry fields with labels need to have this reciprocal
relation assigned.  If you use Gtk stock widgets this happens "automatically"
but I guess the XUL ATK support doesn't do this yet.
