Description Willie Walker 2008-12-03 23:28:17 UTC 
From e-mail on gnome-accessibility-devel (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2008-December/msg00004.html):

This is a patch for the java-access-bridge in gnome 
(http://live.gnome.org/Java%20Access%20Bridge). Using a swing 
JTextField, if a user selects text and starts typing to replace it, a 
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown in .

The following events are observed through acccerciser in gedit when 
selecting text and typing over it:
object:text-changed:delete
object:text-changed:insert
object:text-caret-moved

While the Swing program only emits
object:text-changed:delete
object:text-changed:insert

The 'object:text-caret-moved' event is not sent. The attached patch 
catches the exception and silently ignores it, ensuring the 
selection-changed event is not sent and the text-caret-moved event is.
