GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 466649
Orca does not provide access to inserted text in FF3

This is a tracking bug for the following Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392203 text-changed events are missing when text is added to a document via javascript
Our test case to verify the fix, once it's fixed, is 411.com. Activate the "phone" link in the search results. Having done so, we should be able to Up Arrow to the number.
Actually, this is broader. We don't get the events in entries either. :-(
We now get the events in entries, but the original 411.com issue is still present. Based on the comments on the original bug we're tracking, that's a different issue. So now we're watching this bug instead: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391846
The bug in comment #3 has been marked as FIXED, and I'm seeing the text-changed:insert events. Sometimes I'm seeing text-changed:delete events; sometimes I'm not. Other bad juju that's causing hangs in Orca also seems to be related to this change. :-( So I'm unblocking and continuing to investigate.
Okay, I'm closing this one. Our troubles now are that the proverbial rug is getting pulled out from under us (the phone link on 411.com changes state, loses text, etc. all while we're sitting on it, all without getting a single event.) I filed bug #471642 on it.
