Re: [orca-list] Orca and WAI ARIA

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

BTW: Orca is not getting placeholder value (ARIA or HTML) from Gecko
using the object attribute specified in the Core-AAM and used by Gtk,
WebKitGtk, et al. While I could hack around this in Orca, it would be
preferred to have the value correctly exposed to Orca by Gecko. That bug
is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303429.

I find it confusing that Orca doesn't read aria-labelledby: If
aria-labelledby is correctly supported by the user agent, then the
labeled element would have the value as the accessible name. And Orca
should auotmatically present the accessible name when objects get focus.

Again, test case appreciated -- though the placeholder one isn't needed
as that's the Gecko bug I mentioned above.

Thanks.
