Str: 1. Visit a page with a windowless plugin; e.g. http://www.brandonsanderson.com/ 2. Locate the accessible for the embedded object. 3. Call IAccessible::accChildCount on this accessible. Expected: 0. Actual: 1. 4. Call AccessibleChidlren, passing iChildStart as 0 and cChildren as the child count (step 3). Expected: The returned array should be empty (no children). Actual: An array of length 1 is returned. The array member is a VARIANT with VT_DISPATCH but a pDispVal of NULL. A NULL child should never be returned by AccessibleChildren. This doesn't affect users of NVDA (or probably any other AT), but it's probably worth fixing for correctness and automation.
