Bug 214068 – REGRESSION (r264037) [GTK][WPE] accessibility/textarea-selected-text-range.html is failing for collapsed ranges

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

[Lauro Moura]

r264037 changed the behavior of AccessibilityRenderObject::setSelectedVisiblePositionRange for the cases where the selection range is 0.

This made accessibility/textarea-selected-text-range.html to fail, returning (0,0) from selectedTextRange when the length given to setSelectedTextRange is zero.

In AccessibilityUIElementAtk.cpp's AccessibilityUIElement::setSelectedTextRange(unsigned location, unsigned length), there is this snippet which might be related:

  1888     if (!length)
     1         return atk_text_set_caret_offset(ATK_TEXT(m_element.get()), location);
     2
     3     return atk_text_set_selection(ATK_TEXT(m_element.get()), 0, location, location + length);

264129 changed the test to wait for the expected results instead of checking right away due to the AccessibilityController async nature, causing it to timeout instead of fail.

Test is passing since r266295.
