GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 443650
[pending] Orca "loops" on certain pages in Firefox
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:27:43 UTC
On the list, Krister reported: When i try reading a page with up or down arrow, sometimes the cursor loops, i can't describe it in another way, I can start at one point and read a couple lines down, and suddenly without me having done anything I'm back where i began reading and finding myself reading the same piece of info over and over again. Most noticeable, (ahem, the only page I've tested) is the issue on http://www.teochkaffehuset.se and if you follow a link called "a cup of excelense". There are listings of the winners in theis contest and the price you have to pay to get one of these coffees. however, i could only read one because the cursor looped back to the beginning of the line again and again. This is confirmed.
Created attachment 89284 [details] [review] patch to hopefully solve the problem Web pages can contain their own panels. If the locus of focus is within that panel, we probably moved off of a focusable item (like a link within the panel) to something non-focusable (like text within the panel). If we don't ignore this event, we'll loop to the top of the panel.
Patch committed because Will said to via IM and also because it will facilitate Krister's testing.
This patch looks good to me so far but lets wait to see what Krister has to say.
Agreed. I'm moving this to pending as a way to indicate that this is what we're waiting for -- as opposed to it being something I'm still working on.
If you arrow to the bottom of the following page you should loop throughh the last 3 lines endlessly. http://del.icio.us/brunoabinader/mobile
I cannot reproduce this. Mike if you can do so reliably, please attach a full debug.out. Thanks!
As per Will, closing this as FIXED.
