Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2011-05-29 18:09:52 UTC 
The following methods should be marked as deprecated within ATK:

From AtkUtil:
 atk_add_focus_tracker
 atk_remove_focus_tracker
 atk_focus_tracker_init
 atk_focus_tracker_notify

From AtkComponent:
 atk_component_add_focus_handler
 atk_component_remove_focus_handler

After marking them as deprecated, we should file bugs against each toolkit which is using the newly-deprecated methods.

[Mass-reassigning open atk bug reports for better trackability as requested in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653179 .
PLEASE NOTE:
If you have watched the previous assignee of this bug report as a workaround for actually getting notified of changes in atk bugs, you yourself will now have to add atk-maint@gnome.bugs to your watchlist at the bottom of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email to keep watching atk bug reports in GNOME Bugzilla.
Sorry for the noise: Feel free to filter for this comment in order to mass-delete the triggered bugmail.]

I just discovered the extra layers of obfuscation around focus tracking in gail and I have to full-heartedly agree: get rid of these; I'm going to drop the implementations of atk_component_add/remove_focus_handler in gail soon.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-07-02 16:07:44 UTC 
As for deprecation notes:

atk_component_add_focus_handler is just a glorified way to connect to the AtkObject::focus-event signal.

Sorry for the delay, I was on holiday.

Yes, as I already said on bug 649575.

In fact this bug is just a offspring bug of 649575. Most of the reasons, discussion and atk hackfest conclusions are explained there.

Bug 650669 tracks the same but for the case of Cally.
Comment 5 Alejandro Piñeiro Iglesias (IRC: infapi00) 2013-10-18 11:36:37 UTC 
All this methods were deprecated as part of bug 649575. Closing bug.
