894824 - You do not get MSAA Events (e.g. EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE) for Object caret when moving the caret with the cursor keys in a text input control.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Günter Hillenbrand]

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)

Steps to reproduce:

Run MSAA Inspect.exe from MS and select "Watch Caret" and "Show Caret Hightlight". Run Firefox and open a website with a text input control and type in some text. Then move the caret with the cursor keys within the typed text.


Actual results:

While typing the text you will se the correct caret position marked by the caret highlight of inspect.exe. While moving the caret with the cursor keys the highlight marker for the caret from inspect.exe will stay after the last typed character and do not move with the caret.


Expected results:

The highlight marker should follow the caret also while moving the caret with cursor keys.
