Bug 120122 – Treat elements with editable text roles as text controls

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Accessibility

[Roger Fong]

Assign elements with static text roles to ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT.
Static text should still be accessible by AccessibleText which requires ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT.
Accordingly, elements with static text roles should be treated as textControls.

I'm not sure I've covered the full extent of what needs to be considered a text role but I think I've hit the big ones.

static text should not be marked as text control. Text control is only for things that allow text input

what's the difference between EditableTextRole and TextField or TextArea? can one of those roles be used instead of EditableTextRole?

Ah, I did not see the isStaticText() method on accessibility object. I will use that in conjunction with isTextControl() when deciding whether or not to create my accessibility object.

You can have just a <div contenteditable=true>content here </div>
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120191 addresses this. (If it's a text node and content is editable it uses the EditableTextRole.

I might need to split this up into 2, 1 line patches...
The two parts are actually not really related...

Will likely cause some tests to need rebaselining.
I'll let EWS figure out which ones.

[Roger Fong]

No longer necessary since I'm fixing https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120191 in a different way.
