Description Mike Pedersen 2007-07-09 22:40:37 UTC 
Frequently in both firefox and thunderbird orca will speak greyed before panels and frames.  This information seems to be incorrect and quite miss-leading.  In these cases lets just not speak the greyed state.
Comment 1 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-07-11 22:03:23 UTC 
Turns out that Firefox and Thunderbird application frames lack STATE_SENSITIVE (which is causing us to say "grayed") and STATE_ENABLED.  When I looked at a bunch of other application frames with Accerciser, they all had these states.  I've filed a bug against Mozilla core asking for those states to be included/exposed. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387732.

Marking this bug as blocked.   Mike, if you can find some panel examples that I can reproduce, please add them as a comment to this bug.  Thanks!
Comment 2 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-07-14 23:29:43 UTC 
These states are now being exposed, perhaps as a happy side effect of the states fix to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387925.

With the latest Firefox and Thunderbird, Orca no longer says "grayed" for the frames, therefore I'm unblocking this bug.  Mike please let me know about the panels.  i.e. what else needs to be done in order to close this bug?

In the last functional mozilla builds this seems to be fixed.
