Re: [g-a-devel] What role to use for URL bar?

[Aaron Leventhal <aaronlev moonset net>]

Still haven't gotten a good answer. What should autocompletes look like?

Gnome does not seem to do it right. For the Alt+F2 "Run application" 
dialog's autocomplete, there's a ROLE_COMBOBOX
with a ROLE_TEXT child, but:
1) I'm getting the focus event for the ROLE_COMBOBOX, even though it doesn't
have STATE_FOCUSABLE.
2) The child ROLE_TEXT doesn't have STATE_FOCUSABLE and does not receive
STATE_FOCUSED when the caret is in it. The caret moved events are in this
object.

- Should the ROLE_COMBOBOX become ROLE_AUTOCOMPLETE?
- Should the ROLE_TEXT become ROLE_ENTRY?
