1623402 - "Show Context Menu" action is not supported when using VoiceOver

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P1)

Description

[Morgan Reschenberg [:morgan]]

When inspecting (all?) elements in Safari and chrome using Mac's Accessibility Inspector, the actions pane contains "Scroll to Visible" and "Show Menu"; we currently support "Scroll to Visible", but not the latter.

This should be implemented so users can access the right-click menu :)

Depends on D67200

:eeejay, so it looks like we're not technically supposed to add more ipdl functions; I could change the doAction one to support right-clicking, maybe? What do you think makes the most sense?
(patch with an additional DoRightClick ipdl function attached)

Morgan and I discussed this today. I think the best option is to nsChildView::SynthesizeNativeMouseEvent from the top-level process and not bother with our own IPC method.
