GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 665820
Orca cannot get past bogus objects in Gecko and just says "grayed"
Last modified: 2012-02-03 16:46:18 UTC
From a private email: ~~~~~~~~~~~ go here: http://www.wsmonline.com My girlfriend's machine will absolutely puke on this page. It is one of her favorite radio station sites, but now she cannot use it. ~~~~~~~~~~~ I just took a quick look at this page with Orca. We get stuck near the top at an object of ROLE_UNKNOWN whose reported index is -1. This seems like a broken accessible hierarchy to me. I will add it to my to-triage list. In the meantime, other examples are welcome here.
One more data point: When navigating on this page I get a ton of the following being spit out to the terminal: (firefox:27351): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Here's another example: Visit http://dangerouslymonkey.tumblr.com/post/13937230649/thedailywhat-movie-trailer-of-the-day-first and navigate to the link for the embedded youtube video with 'tab', and press 'enter'. Orca will say "html content grayed", then be rendered speechless. Attempts to switch out of this tab or to another running application do not correct this. Attempts to restart Orca with "orca --replace", in the 'run dialogue', also give no satisfaction. To restore speech, I logged into another console, and killed the offending firefox instance. Orca spat out a bunch of stuff, as if I'd been entering a pile of navigation keystrokes.

I've noticed this on a lot of youtube sites, and after killing plugin-container the problem seems to go away for me, and it appears orca was stuck near where the flash died message appears. I also notice the effects are slightly different with at-spi1, orca just becomes silent and doesn't even say grey. This all makes me wonder if this is all somehow fallout from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480317 hopefully I'll be free from school in a couple days and can try reverting that bug and testing, or I can give someone help if they want to try :-)

I believe this is fixed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718990 additional testing would be great.
Seems that the correction will be applied in FF12. Is it true?
I don't know if I used the correct version of firefox in my test. Version 11.0a2 (2012-02-01) presents the same problem when acessing http://www.multimediaboom.com/google-translator-desktop-app-for-ubuntu/ boom.com/google-translator-desktop-app-for-ubuntu/
