1052525 - atk_text_get_text_at_offset sometimes returns the previous line instead of the line at offset

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1525631

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Joanmarie Diggs]

Attachment: test case: wronglineatoffset.html

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached test case in Firefox
2. Launch the attached accessible event listener in a terminal
3. Enable caret navigation in Firefox (F7) and Down Arrow from line to line

Expected results: Each time the caret moves, the correct line at offset would be reported.

Actual results: As you arrow down to the next line, the reported line at offset is the previous line.

Note: If you delete the whitespace in the source that is between <br/> and the <span>, the bug goes away.

Jamie: can you reproduce it with IA2?

Comment 3

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

This will be fixed by an upcoming patch to bug 1525631, because the root cause is the same.
