Re: [orca-list] Mouse review: On Firefox, on body of pages, orca only reads the start page and doesn't seem to see new pages

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

I cannot reproduce reading the start page again. However, I am finding
quite a few cases where Orca is not presenting the object under the
mouse on a google search results page. The reason seems to be that Orca
looks at each container's bounding box to determine if it contains the
mouse. We have instances where the bounding box has coordinates of 0,0
and a size of 0,0 even though it is the element which contains the
element under the mouse. That really sucks.

I'll try to hack around it, but I believe this really should be fixed in
Firefox. Related: You can find the size in Accerciser by selecting the
object on the left and looking under "Component" in Accerciser's
interface viewer. An example of where I'm seeing this issue is the
accessible with role section which is the parent of the accessible of
role section with id of center_col. This is where *all* the search
results are.

It would be helpful if Hypra could file, and better yet fix, this bug.
Thanks!
