Re: [g-a-devel]Representing Accessible Text in gnome-help

Peter,

This is bug 120659.

The problem is that AtkHyperlink, although it implements AtkAction, is not necessarily an AtkObject. This is similar to java where an AccessibleHyperlink derives from java.lang/Object and implements AccessibleAction.

As you can see from the bug report Bill is not happy about this and would prefer that clkicking on a link were done a different way.
