Description Dana Ormenisan 2004-12-02 12:04:11 UTC 
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch Evolution
2. Go to New -> Mail Message
3. Type some characters in the message composer pan.

Actual Results:
  For every character typed, AccessibleText_getCharacterExtents returns
wrong (0) values. The offset passed to this function is the correct one,
but the returned bounding box containing the the character at this offset
has the same wrong coordinates for every char:
   x = 0
   y = 0
   width = 0
   height = 0

Expected Results:
  The returned values should reflect the correct coordinates of those
characters.

How often does this happen? 
  Always.

this is a gtkhtml or atk bug, not an evolution bug

This is a gtkhtml's a11y bug.
Comment 3 Jessie Li 2005-01-13 08:17:34 UTC 
How to check if AccessibleText_getCharacterExtents returns correct
values when I type character?

Thanks!
