GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 509588
Header information disappearing in ff3 on minefield page (special case?)
Last modified: 2008-07-22 19:33:23 UTC
Please describe the problem: Information of existance of heading is present first time the few lines are browsed, but on consequent reads, the heading seems to vanish. I cant seem to reproduce the error with my own html, maybe its css positioning that is having an effect? Also the same page when saved locally and browsed locally doesnt demonstrate this problem. Steps to reproduce: visit: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/ we hear: "skip to main content link", down arrow: "mozilla link heading level 1" down arrow: "mozilla link, about link, developers link," etc going back up: pressing up: "skip to main content link", we were on: "mozilla link, about link, developers link,", what happend to the heading that we read on the way down? pressing down: down: "mozilla link, about link, developers link," etc again, the heading is not spoken. The heading is the mozilla link, but the braille doesnt show it to be a heading, neither is the "heading level 1" spoken. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Created attachment 103767 [details] [review] revision 1 > what happened to the heading that we read on the way down? I think it took one look at the hierarchically-backwards list of links and decided to find a more reasonable page on which to live. <grin> The attached doesn't address the backwards list of links, but it solves the reported problem -- at least for me. With this patch, we call it a heading on the way down and we find it (and call it a heading) on the way back. It's also regression tested and pylinted. Jon, please test. Thanks!!
Joanie Good work, fixed for this example, but i dont have any others to varify on. "hierarchically-backwards list"? Looking at the source, i came across another useful thing that we might wish to implement. Please see bug 512222.
Thanks Jon. Patch committed, moving to pending. As for the backwards list, see bug #508784. This is also why BBC Radio4's Programmes A through Z list is presented as Z through A. Content creators do goofy things and that's passed along to us in the hierarchy. We'd like to not pass the goofiness on to the user. <smile> Haven't gotten to that one yet....
I think this problem is solved.
Thanks Mike. Closing as FIXED.
