With activated menubar the coordinates of the caret are invalid while getting the MSAA EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Display menubar of firefox
2.Run Microsoft's MSAA Inspector (inspect32.exe) and check "Watch caret" and "Show caret highlight" Buttons in Toolbar
3.Klick within any edit field of any webpage and type.

Actual Results:  
Caret highlight is always beyond the real caret position (means that EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE gives the wrong position)

Expected Results:  
Caret highlight should be at the position of the real caret
Occurs with all windowsversions, tested Win XP and Win7

Hi Gregory, is this still an issue in a current Firefox version?

Hi Marco, 
no. I just tested with FF 49.0 and the problem seems to be fixed. Thanks.
