1826853 - [CtW][tail-end] Sync call RemoteAccessible::CaretLineNumber() is still used in MacOS

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

A non sync or cache alternative should be used.

When does VoiceOver actually use this? It seems we've never implemented this correctly. Due to a typo, RemoteAccessible::CaretLineNumber actually gets the caret offset! Furthermore, I couldn't find any way to get the current line number with VO, even in Safari.

This obviously doesn't work. I do see this implemented in WK and Blink. I think this can be done with the cached selection and line boundaries. I'll take this.
