GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 493917
[blocked] Event.user_data None for object:children-changed:add on ARIA tooltips
Last modified: 2007-11-30 14:34:55 UTC
This is a tracking bug for this Mozilla bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402597 Opening comment: The tooltip seen here http://www.mozilla.org/access/dhtml/new/tooltip has the following debug for the Accessibility::Event object. Note that the any_data field, the target of the object:children-changed:add event, is None. source = [paragraph | ] type = object:children-changed:add:system any_data = None detail1 = 2 detail2 = 0 This is also the case for dojo tooltips (actually alerts) seen here http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/nightly/dojotoolkit/dijit/tests/test_Tooltip.html and the tooltips linked from http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessible_DHTML#Supported_roles . A strange oddity is that object:children-changed:add events for the live region examples were broken (pre-pyatspi migration for Orca) with respect to user_data, but now they work. Beyond event type, I am not sure how else the two issues are related.
Although the Mozilla bug has not been marked fixed, this doesn't seem to be a problem if proper ARIA markup is provided and the tooltip/alert is not a <span>. Closing this bug and marking it NOTGNOME.
