1655784 - VoiceOver does not track the cursor in the address field, works in edit fields on the web.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

After bug 1654679, the arrow keys now speak the character the caret moves across. However, this does not yet work when in the URL bar. There, it will always only speak the first character as before.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:eeejay, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta to wontfix.

1. Turn on VoiceOver.
2. Start Firefox.
3. Focus the address bar and start typing something.
4. Use left and right arrow and listen to what VoiceOver reads. It should speak the character the cursor passes over. It works on my Nightly as expected.
