1709594 - Table cells no longer get IAccessibleHypertext interface

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[James Teh [:Jamie]]

After bug 1694865, table cells are no longer getting the IAccessibleHypertext interface. Among other things, this breaks retrieval of formatting info in table cells.

The patch for bug 1694865 part 25 states:

5. ia2AccessibleTableCell is instantiated for TableCellAccessible, so it inherits from ia2AccessibleHypertext (since most TableCellAccessible implementations implement HyperTextAccessible).

In reality, the patch makes ia2AccessibleTableCell inherit from MsaaAccessible. Either I made the change in some version of the patch and lost it, or I intended to make the change and... didn't. 😳

Without this, table cells weren't getting the IAccessibleText, etc. interfaces.
This was my intention in bug 1694865 part 25, but apparently that's not what I actually did.
