GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 449324
"Braille stopped showing message header from beginning of row (in Thunderbird)" redux
Last modified: 2007-08-13 21:27:34 UTC
It looks like Thunderbird changed yet again so that the fix for bug 405541 no longer applies. :-( We're back to displaying the sorted column rather than the entire row.
In the good news/bad news department: In the July 5th trunk build of Thunderbird, whatever had caused Lynn's fix to stop working was undone, so the fix *should* once again work. That's the good news. The bad news is this: In that same build, they broke getAccessibleAt() for tree tables. Now, getAccessibleAt(r, c) returns the table cell in row r, column r+c (as opposed to row r, column c). As a result, at the top of the message list, we're good. As we begin arrowing down what is spoken and displayed moves further and further to the right. Therefore, I'm turning this bug into the tracking bug for the new bug I've filed on the getAccessibleAt() issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387710.
The bug we're tracking has been marked as fixed. I have verified that we're speaking the correct items in the tree of messages. Closing as NOTGNOME.
