398052 - Events missing when tooltips are hidden

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 366815

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Joanmarie Diggs]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Accerciser and turn on event monitoring

2. For each of the follow types of items, hover the mouse pointer over it, then remove the mouse pointer so that no other tooltip appears.
   a. A link with an associated title
   b. A browser tab
   c. A toolbar button

For a & b we get an object:children-changed:add:system when the tooltip appears, but we never get a corresponding object:children-changed:remove:system when the tooltip is hidden.  For c we get an object:text-changed:insert:system when the tooltip appears, but the corresponding object:text-changed:delete:system does not occur until the mouse is hovered over another toolbar button.

I think the tooltip frame is somehow reused.
I don't know why we don't have HIDE event for tooltip.

See also Bug 36616 and Bug 366815.
I think Bug 366815 is a DUPE of this one.

Joanie, can you explain in the original bug 366815 how this will help Orca support?
