240737 - Offline information and security information buttons are not shown in GOK

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 257097

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Philip K. Warren]

Using Mozilla with GOK (after applying the patch in Bug 239867), the Toolbars
and UI Grab functionality is working properly. However, the "Online/Offline"
button and the "Security Information" button in the bottom right of the Mozilla
browser window are not exposed to GOK by Mozilla.

I can also reproduce this same problem in a trunk Windows build. AccExplore does
not show any accessible information for the offline button, privacy button, or
security button on the status bar. I believe this is because there is no
accessible created for xul elements of type <statusbarpanel>, while there are
accessibles created for xul elements of type <toolbarbutton>, which is what the
navigator/mailnews/editor/address book/chatzilla buttons are.

Also line #242.

Both the text and iconic statusbar items need accessibles.

Marking this as a duplicate of Bug 257097. The patch in that bug implements
nsIAccessibleProvider for statusbarpanel-iconic. There is no accessible object
created for the statusbarpanel base class, but both statusbar and
statusbar-iconic have accessible objects, and that should work in almost all cases.
