Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-07-13 01:41:45 UTC 
Issue 1:  When the user moves focus to the search autocompletes in the top toolbars of Firefox and Thunderbird, Orca does not speak anything.

Issue 2:  When the user has expanded the Location autocomplete in Firefox and then presses Backspace, characters are removed from the entry but are not announced.

patch to hopefully solve the problem

The search entries in Firefox's and Thunderbird's top toolbars contain text which functions as the label (Yahoo, Entire Message) and which gets deleted just prior to the entry gaining focus.  If we pass that event on to the default script, it will set the entry to the locus of focus silently and then the focus event will not cause the entry to be spoken.  In addition, if the Location autocomplete is expanded and Backspace is pressed, the locus of focus will be a table cell and the default script will not speak the characters being deleted from the entry.

Mike please test.
