726520 - Hit test on chrome accessibles ignores documents

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 726097

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[James Teh [:Jamie]]

Str:
1. Visit any web page.
2. Retrieve the location of the document accessible for the page. Let x be the left coordinate and y be the top coordinate.
3. Call IAccessible::accHitTest(x, y) on the top level frame.
Expected: A deeper accessible encompassing these screen coordinates should be returned.
Actual: 0 is returned.
The same happens for all ancestors above the browser element.

Impact: Breaks activation of some elements in NVDA browse mode, breaks NVDA mouse tracking.

Works in Firefox 11.

I believe this is a dupe of bug 726097

Which lead to another issue: we don't test that?

we have very restricted set of tests (see test_getChildAtPoint.html/xul files), please make sure to add a test for this problem
