1668142 - Rotor doesn't return results when AXDirectionPrevious is used with no start element.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

STR:

1. Load data:text/html,<div><a href="a">one</a></div><div><a href="b">two</a></div><div><a href="c">three</a></div>
2. Go to last item with VO next
3. Press VO+Left

Result:
Cursor is unresponsive, after repeated presses it goes to the second link, and then it goes to the webarea

Expected:
VO cursor should go back to the second and first link respectively with each press of VO+left

It looks like a previous search that is done with no start element won't return any items.

[Julien Cristau [:jcristau]]

Is this a new issue? Nothing in this bug suggests it's a regression and given how late we are in the cycle I'm not sure it would qualify for uplift if not.

(same question as in bug 1668137)

Comment 9

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

Yes, this bug is regressed by bug 1657418.

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

Since it is late in the cycle, and VoiceOver support in mac is still experimental, I think it is fine if this is declined beta.
