Description Dave Malcolm 2005-11-16 21:26:43 UTC 
Currently sniff requires you to manually drill down to find your accessible nodes.

It would be great to be able to automate this somehow.  Various approaches to
this, all of which would be nice; I'm filing these as separate bugs:

Make components flash.  at-poke has a nice feature where if you select an
Accessible that implements the Component interface it grabs the screen extents
of that object (x,y,w,h) and flashes that rectangle.  We should implement this
behaviour in sniff, when the selection changes.
