Re: [orca-list] orca problem on scrolling web sites

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi again Vojta.

I have a candidate fix, at least for the DuckDuckGo issue, which I am 
regression testing before committing. However, it will only fix things 
on pages where what you are navigating in is focusable. The reason why 
is that there is a bug in Firefox or Gecko in which setting the caret 
via AtkText doesn't cause the element with that caret to be scrolled 
into view. The exception is if the caret is set in a focusable element, 
like a link. This makes sense because if sighted users Tab to a link 
that's offscreen and that link was not scrolled into view, those users 
would be extremely surprised.
When Mozilla fixes their bug, it should solve anything my fix does not. 
The Mozilla bug is here 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1170242.
