Details
User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040120 When running mozilla with the Gnome Onscreen Keyboard (GOK), GOK does not recognize that Mozilla has any accessible items until one of Mozilla's accessible items is 'in focus'. Normally, the Menus button in GOK should become active if the active window has objects that are accessible. With Mozilla, even if the browser window is active, the items do not appear as menu items to GOK until one of Mozilla's accessible items is given focus and then the browser lets GOK know that there are available items that it needs to let the user know about. Additionally, if the browser has more than one window open, once Mozilla reports to GOK that it has accessible items it tells GOK about all of the accessible items on every window not just the active one. So, if you have 3 Mozilla browser windows open and you click on the Menus button in GOK, you will get a GOK window that has 3 File buttons, 3 Edit buttons, 3 View buttons, 3 help buttons, etc. Not sure if this is 2 separate problems. To me it just looks like Mozilla is having a hard time telling which window is active and then sending the information for that window/dialog. I recreated this on Linux as well as AIX. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start mozilla (mozilla -profilemanager) with accessibility options turned on 2. Start GOK 3. Notice that the Menus button is not made available in the GOK window 4. Right click on any of the accessible items in the profilemanager like one of the checkboxes 5. Notice that the GOK Menus button now made available. Could do it this way too: 1. Start Mozilla with accessibility turned on 2. Start GOK 3. Notice Menus option in GOK not available 4. Right click on the File pulldown menu on the Mozilla browser window 5. Notice the Menus option now available Actual Results: The GOK Menus button became available. Expected Results: GOK should have been made aware of Mozilla's accessible items without having to select one of the items. Just being the active window, Mozilla should have let GOK know that there were items that are accessible.
