Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2008-02-25 01:56:08 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to slashdot.org
2. Press Control+Home
3. Use Orca+Right to move object by object

Expected results:  We wouldn't get hung up on form controls that aren't even visible (but claim to be) and wrap.

Actual results:  We get hung up on form controls that aren't even visible (but claim to be) and wrap.

This is a spin-off bug from bug 517752.  There's something uniquely goofy happening on slashdot.... :-(

hmm, copying and pasting the source of the page into local file and opening that in ff3, there doesnt seem to be any problems.
javascript/css/anything else issue?
I also get many things being repeted twice on the original page, although again looking at the code there doesnt seem to be any valid reason for it. Doesnt seem to be a pure html issue.
Comment 2 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2008-04-01 19:11:28 UTC 
In terms of the original bug, I am no longer looping on the page when moving among objects with Orca+Right.  Is this problem still reproducible?

We're still finding the "hidden" form controls which I suspect is YAPWCM (yet another page with crappy markup).
Comment 3 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2008-04-01 19:13:36 UTC 
Just noticed something w.r.t. the hidden form controls.  Quit Orca and use Tab.  The hidden things are in the Tab order.  Not much we can do about that (other than complain to the slashdot folks).

I can't reproduce this one now.  Probably OK to close.
Comment 5 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2008-04-02 20:34:56 UTC 
Sounds good.  Thanks Mike.
