1468956 - IAccessibleText::get_textAtOffset(...,IA2_TEXT_BOUNDRY_LINE,...) returns incorrect values for RTL content.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike HIll]

Attachment: test html document

If you have some RTL text (Arabic/Hebrew) that is wrapped across multiple lines because it's longer than the width of the element and the screen reader wants to break this into physical screen lines, it would normally call 
IAccessibleText::get_textAtOffset(...,IA2_TEXT_BOUNDRY_LINE,...) to get each physical line.

This doesn't work correctly for RTL text.

The function returns S_OK, but startOffset and endOffset return the bounds of 2 physical lines of text instead of 1.

This seems to be fixed from what I can tell, probably by the introduction of TextLeafPoint and fixes like bug 1897597. Please reopen if the problem persists.
