1175335 - Distinguish msqrt from mroot

Status: ASSIGNED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Wang (:fredw)]

Currently both <msqrt> and <mroot> use the role ATK_ROLE_MATH_ROOT, so we can not distinguish

<msqrt><mi>x</mi><mi>N</mi></msqrt>

from

<mroot><mi>x</mi><mi>N</mi></mroot>

As an interim solution, Joanie proposes to add a "subrole" object attribute for that purpose until we have actual subroles in ATK.

I'd suggest to expose either
1) rootindex relation which is null in case of msqrt or
2) rootindex object attribute which equals 2 in case of msqrt, and missed in case of mroot

I think 1st is nicer since it's semantic/self-descriptive and not hierarchy dependent approach. It's also close to OS X a11y API.

Attachment: Patch (rootindex object attribute)

This is version 1, but anyway we finally don't need to fix that bug now and we will probably eventually use relations to make navigation easier.

@Joanie: In bug 1176123, we'll add a relation NODE_PARENT_OF on the <mroot> but not on <msqrt>. I believe this is enough to distinguish these two elements. Or do we need to add anything else?

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.
