Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2009-08-31 00:53:47 UTC 
The Gecko script works hard to identify and work around bogus return values for getTextAtOffset. If I do say so myself, we catch most of the bogusity. There is one instance of persistent bogusity which I'd not gotten around to fixing, however. An example can be seen in the line_nav_bug_547573.py regression test (Assertion 82. Line Up).

fix

This patch fixes the aforementioned problem. Pylinted and regression tested. I've committed this to master (and only master) so it can get some more testing. Pending user feedback, this should be considered for inclusion in 2.28.1.

Now that code freeze is over, I've committed this fix to the GNOME-2-28 branch for inclusion in 2.28.1
