The INTERNAL_FRAME parent of the DOCUMENT_FRAME has a action of click that seems spurious. Is it supposed to do anything?

It confuses Jambu which only expects actions on leaf (non-container) nodes and so does not navigate down into it. Is this a bad assumption to make?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.look in accerciser at INTERNAL_FRAME 0 18 30 0
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Internal frame has an action

Expected Results:  
no action
To answer your questions, yes & no.
I think it's a bad assumption that actions will be on leaf elements, since any HTML element can have an onclick and the other may use that for something important. For example, imagine a diagram where each diagram object has descendants, but clicking on the object makes it the center of the diagram.

That said, the INTERNAL FRAME might in fact be a weird place to have the action, but I'd like more details. Is this for any web page?

Yes I considered that general case but after investigation of the cases could find I to a pragmatic view that simplifies the UI as it allows a single gesture do either enter collection (parent) or do action (leaf). It might well be that we need to allow different actions for a node but for now this seems to be enough. You give a plausible scenario there though.

Agreed.

Yes as far as I can tell

Override action-related method in nsOuterDocAccessible so no actions are exposed for the internal frame.

Remove any actions from nsOuterDocAccessible

Curious, why is there an onclick there at all? If it's hard to answer, no problem. This is a reasonable fix in any case, since I can't imagine any time where we'd want to expose an action there.

Nit: I think the new GetActionDescription should just truncate instead of deferring to GetActionName().

nsAccUtils::hasListener determines that there aparently is an onclick handler for this content node.

it doesn't make sense to override this method.

Has test, has been baking on 1.9.1a1 for weeks, and would help the Jambu (alternative input device software on Linux) developers tremendously in properly navigating and identifying clickable items.
