If you examine the page using the DOM inspector, it is present. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch AT-POKE or Accerciser 2. Navigate to http://www.tiflolinux.org 3. Examine the page's contents using AT-POKE/Accerciser 4. Examine the page's contents using the DOM inspector Actual Results: The footer (section and text) is absent in AT-POKE/Accerciser; it's present in the DOM inspector. Expected Results: The footer (section and text) would be present in AT-POKE/Accerciser. On occasion the footer does appear in AT-POKE/Accerciser. Most of the time it does not. When the text is visible via at-spi, you can arrow to it and read it via Orca; when the text is not visible via at-spi, you cannot arrow to it or read it via Orca.

can you narrow down the page to a smaller test case?
Nian: we've tried, but we seem to keep stripping something out that makes the problem go away. Can you not reproduce the problem?
yes, i can. do you have any other similar test case?
I don't. Can you please try working with the given page? Thanks!

Note: the text is a direct descendant of the document. I would expect the text to be part of the document object, after a couple of embedded object characters for the tables.
Nian, will you look at this?
Assignee: aaronleventhal → nian.liu
ok, i'll take it. however, it seems not possible to narrow down the test case.
I might have another test case: 1. Navigate to the Google Advanced Search Page (English): http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en 2. Use Accerciser or AT-POKE and view the page hierarchy. I cannot see beyond the first form (ending with the safe search stuff) 3. Use the DOM inspector to view the same content. I can see the entire page. I can reproduce this on the two machines I've tried it on.
Btw, DOM Inspector doesn't show actual accessible tree. It shows nodes that can be accessilble :).
Neo, any progress? Can you mark the bug CONFIRMED if you see the problem?

Ginn, can you help with this one?

Here's another one: www.indeed.com. The page contents that follow the Preferences link seem to be absent from the hierarchy.
I'm able to duplicate the results on Windows using the original www.tiflolinux.org example, but it seems to depend on what accessible object I look at first.
Aha, Ginn's fix for bug 376887 fixes this! I'm seeing a focus event on the document before we fire the state change event that indicates the document is loaded. Apparently the doc can get focused before it's finished loading.
I've posted a new patch to bug 376887 which fixes this bug. It's really the same bug -- when focus comes before page load we don't Invalidate() the cache as the page continues to load.
