The first patch is only a workaround for AT-Tools. The implementation of
"GetChildAtPoint" should follow the definition of this interface.

I see nsAccessible::GetChildAtPoint(), doesn't it fix this bug?

It might, will you try it and see if it works? If so we can close as WORKSFORME.

You could write a Python script to do it -- start with one of Willie Walker's test scripts. Or, even better, you could fix at-poke! It would be very very useful to navigate to the accessible object from the mouse cursor in AT Poke. Is there a bug open on that in gnome.org? Maybe we can get Bill Haneman to fix that for us so you can test easily.

It does work on Windows, but we only create 1 accessible per line there, so I don't trust that to tell us.

originate from Willie's python script.

It prints error msg occasionally, especially when focusing on links.
