Bug 105214 – AX: Allow requesting the full plain text for an object with textUnderElement()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Accessibility

[Dominic Mazzoni]

In order for these tests to pass:

accessibility/button-title-uses-inner-img-alt.html
accessibility/focusable-div.html [ Failure ]

...there need to be more GTK accessibility tests that cover textUnderElement in cases where it should return an object replacement character. Then we can try getting rid of a special case for GTK in AccessibilityRenderObject::textUnderElement().

This patch fixes the issue for GTK while (I believe) not disturbing other platforms.

I have just confirmed that fixing this patch gets the test accessibility/listitem-title.html passing.

That's right. I've already pushed a commit skipping that one and associating it to this bug, so I'm now updating the patch here to include the unskipping of it, once it gets reviewed.

This title is misleading I think for what it does

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:8

funtion -> function

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:11
> +        element (without omitting any child in the subtree), needed for

the portion of this sentence - ", needed for..." Should be its own sentence

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityNodeObject.cpp:1509

I think these modes should be called

TextUnderElementIncludeAllChildren
TextUnderElementSkipIgnoredChildren (Default)

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityRenderObject.h:147
> +    virtual String textUnderElement(AccessibilityTextUnderElementMode) const;

this should take a default value so that we don't need to modify every instances
TextUnderElementMode = ..

Thanks for the review, Chris. I will provide an updated patch asap.

Yes, that's right. I'm now changing it to something that will hopefully be more accurate

Ok.

Ok.

Agreed. It definitely sounds better and looks more clear

Ok. I'll add that then.
