1997461 - abbr elements don't get name change events

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect, P3)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

Changing the title attribute in abbr elements does not cause name change events.

/**
 * Test abbr name change notification
 */
addAccessibleTask(
  `<abbr id="abbr" title="JavaScript Object Notation">JSON</abbr>
   <abbr id="labelled-abbr" aria-label="YML"
         title="Yet Another Markup Language">YAML</abbr>`,
  async function testAbbrName(browser, docAcc) {
    const abbr = findAccessibleChildByID(docAcc, "abbr");
    testName(abbr, "JavaScript Object Notation");

    let nameChanged = waitForEvent(EVENT_NAME_CHANGE, abbr);
    invokeSetAttribute(browser, "abbr", "title", "Jason's Other Nettle");
    await nameChanged;
    testName(abbr, "Jason's Other Nettle");
  }
);

Made a new subclass for abbr, this also removes a special case in
HyperTextAccessible, which is good.
