328198 - An <li> instead of <span> with a role gets spoken as "custom control"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

Load the attached testcase. It is a DHTML tree view.  It uses <li x2:role="wairole:treeitem">. For some reason using <li> makes the tree items unrecognizable to Window-Eyes, which then speaks "custom control".

The correctly working version (which uses spans) is here:

Attachment: Allow name if it has a DHTML role and focusable state in general

We no longer need to explicitly clear STATE_FOCUSABLE since nsAccessible::GetState() now only sets it if the item is truly focusable. It used to assume we were a widget and non-widgets had to clear that staet.
