------- Comment #2 from Len DiMaggio  2006-09-19 14:59 UTC -------
This problem is seen on Fedora FC5 (686 - 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) with Dogtail and
PYSPI version 0.6x (the same problem is seen with PYSPI and Dogtail built from
CVS head 20060918 22:00 EDT USA).

Here's the scenario, Frysk includes a button with this this text:
     (Click Here to Select a Process)

(See the attachment for a screenshot.)

Dogtail can't locate this button - but it is able to locate other buttons that
do not include () in their names - is this being misinterpreted as a regexp?

-------------------------------------------------------

>>> from dogtail.procedural import *

>>> focus.application('Frysk')

>>> click('Debug an Existing Process', roleName='radio button')
click on {child with name="Debug an Existing Process" roleName='radio button'}

>>> click('(Click Here to Select a Process)', roleName='push button')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/dogtail/procedural.py", line 279, in
__call__
    Action.__call__(self, name = name, roleName = roleName, description =

    raise FocusError, predicate.debugName
dogtail.procedural.FocusError: child with name="(Click Here to Select a
Process)" roleName='push button'

>>> click('Quit', roleName='push button')
click on {child with name="Quit" roleName='push button'}
