Re: [orca-list] When clicking with left click on the web Orca clicks on another link

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Hi again. In addition to the bug below which is just in Gecko, it turns 
out that the reason Orca is failing to click in the right spot is 
because Gecko is also reporting the wrong character extents. This second 
bug is also not present in either Epiphany or in Chrome. I'm hacking 
around this second Gecko bug in Orca master. But it would be good if 
Gecko could fix that issue as well.

Reporting the second issue should be doable by using Accerciser. Get the 
object extents of the "Drive" link via the component interface. Get the 
character extents at offset 0 via the text interface. Expected results: 
The latter would be contained in the former. Actual results: The latter 
are above and to the left of the former. If this doesn't make sense to 
you, please check with your colleague Samuel. He should be able to help you.

Thanks in advance for reporting both of these issues to Mozilla!
