744768 - Goto button does not get enabled on setting text in location bar thru at-spi

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Poornima Nayak]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build ID: 20110419185614

Steps to reproduce:

I am testing accessibility support of Firefox. For that I am using LDTP tool.
LDTP uses at-spi API to set text in text box in location bar.
Execute following commands
     >python
     In python interpreter execute following commands
     python> import ldtp
     python> settextvalue ('frm*MozillaFirefox', 'txtGotoaWebsite', 'www.google.com')
     python> click('frm*MozillaFirefox','btnLocation2')
    The above command fails with error 'btnLocation2'  has no click/activate actions because that button does not get enabled. 


Actual results:

 python> click('frm*MozillaFirefox','btnLocation2')
    The above command fails with error 'btnLocation2'  has no click/activate actions because that button does not get enabled. 


Expected results:

This 'btnLocation2' should have become active.
Manually when you type 'www.google.com' or any url at the end of location bar this 'green' colored button gets active i.e actually 'btnLocation2'.
If you run Accercisor Accessibility tool you will get details of that button.
This is accessibility issue, blocks automation of Firefox test scripts on RHEL6

Perhaps, the same issue as bug 737766. I guess they use oninput or something like that to do an update. Somebody needs to look at implementation of addressbar.
