Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2009-08-09 05:26:45 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

0. Enable assistive technologies (System->Preferences->Assistive Technologies), log out and back in.

1. Launch Empathy and Accerciser (http://live.gnome.org/Accerciser)

2. In Empathy open a chat window

3. In Accerciser, select the accessible associated with the editable text object at the bottom of the window.*

4. In Accerciser, switch to the Interface Viewer, expand Text (Editable), and check the 'Include defaults' checkbox.*

* I'll attach a screenshot in case you're not familiar with Accerciser.

Expected results: Empathy would not crash.

Actual results: Empathy crashes 100% of the time.

This seems to be the result of bug 591105 which hopefully will get fixed in time for the release. If it does not, braille users who attempt to use Empathy will likely find it crashes consistently on them. :-(

Comment 2 Frederic Peters 2009-08-09 07:36:42 UTC 
Indeed Empathy uses GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR on this widget; short of changing this the fix will have to be in atk.  I'll comment on the atk bug to get it fixed.
Comment 3 Frederic Peters 2009-08-10 06:31:48 UTC 
As the atk bug has been fixed I believe this one can also be closed; thanks Joanmarie for testing Empathy accessibility, don't hesitate to report more issues.
