Description Scott Haeger 2007-07-23 16:25:17 UTC 
ARIA widgets often use Javascript based key bindings that allow a user to interact with the widget.  These key bindings contend with Orca key bindings which causes the ARIA widgets to be non-interactive.  As outlined in the original bug (bug #423348), we will need to do the following:

1) Not consume arrow keyboard events if we are in a component that handles
caret navigation appropriately

2) Not consume structural keyboard navigation events if we are in a component
that needs to use normal typing keys

This is a preliminary patch to aid in testing for other ARIA widget bugs.  I am sure this fix will go through several iterations so don't consider this a final fix.

A better version.

I'm guessing 'xml-roles' is the canonical way to determine if something is an ARIA widget?  If so, this looks like a good patch.  The only potential concern is a roundtrip call per keystroke, but I don't see that being a huge hit right now since we do other round trips in things like useCaretNavigationModel.  Commit!
