GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 105969
The JABG should be generating detailed information for text-changed events.
Last modified: 2014-11-13 17:31:15 UTC
More detail is required for text-changed events from the JABG. At present all that is sent is: object:text-changed + offset Really what is needed is: object:text-changed:<insert|delete|replace> + start-offset + end-offset + CORBA Any with a String of the changed text.
According the the link: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/atk/atktext.html#ATKTEXT-TEXT-CHANGED the second parameter is not the end-offset, but the length of the change. This ties with what I see when I use a GTK application and monitor the events being generated.
Updating status_whiteboard field to reflect A11Y team's assessment of accessibility impact.
Woops, don't need to track this one with the status_whiteboard field.

For the record, as Adi mentioned, there is a bug in IssueZilla against SO to fix the generation of event detail there also: The issue described in this report depends on IssuZilla's(http://www.openoffice.org) bug 13677: http://www.openoffice.org/project/www/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13677

Java bug 4839950 has been raised about Java not providing enough information. The JABG may have to cache the previous text. I have reduced the priority of this bug and added it to the tracking bug 111999.
Padraig: why did you reduce the priority of this bug? It's a blocker for reasonable accessibility of Java apps.
Nothing can be done about this bug until the Java bug is fixed.
Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME bug list :)
Apologies for spam-- ensuring Sun a11y team are cc'ed on all current a11y bugs. Filter on "SUN A11Y SPAM" to ignore.

[Resetting QA Contact to newly introduced "at-spi-maint@gnome.bugs". Reason: So far it was impossible to watch changes in at-spi bug reports without following all the specific persons (Li Yuan, Bill Haneman, Jeff Wai, ...) and also their activity outside of at-spi reports. IMPORTANT: Anyone interested in following all bug activity (including all maintainers) must watch the "at-spi-maint@gnome.bugs" dummy user by adding it to the 'Users to watch' list under Preferences->Email preferences. This is also the default procedure nowadays in GNOME when setting up new products.]
[Mass-resetting default assignee, see bug 705890. Please reclaim this bug report by setting the assignee to yourself if you still plan to work on this. Thanks!]
I'm going to go ahead and close this because it concerns a very old version. Feel free to open a new bug if the problem persists.
