Description williewalker 2009-04-10 15:00:10 UTC 
The object:active-descendant-changed any_data field contains previous active
descendant instead of current active descendant in the Hyperlink dialog.

1) Save this small python script to a file:

import pyatspi
def callback(event):
    print "Event:", event
    print "Source:", event.source
    print "any_data:", event.any_data
    print
pyatspi.Registry.registerEventListener(callback,
                                       "object:active-descendant-changed")
pyatspi.Registry.start()

2) Run the script in a terminal using "python <filename>" and make it's visible
for observations as you perform the remaining steps in this test case.

3) Run OOo writer.  Go to Insert->Hyperlink.

4) Arrow up and down the "Internet", "Mail & News", "Document", and "New
Document" choices on the left hand side.  Notice that the any_data field being
output by the test application incorrectly refers to the previously selected
object instead of the currently selected object.

5) Arrow up and down the "File type" box in the same dialog.  Notice that the
any_data field being output by the test application correctly refers to the
currently selected item.

The impact of this bug is that screen reader users become confused about what is
actually selected in the dialog.  :-(

What OOo version are you using? What OS?
Comment 3 eric.savary 2009-04-29 12:28:33 UTC 
@williewalker: Please always assign to me for A11y issues.
Please also mention the OOo version. I guess you are on Nevada?
Comment 4 williewalker 2009-04-29 13:24:25 UTC 
@es - I confirmed this on OpenSolaris 2008.11, but the person opening the Orca
bug (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578097) mentions the following in
the opening comment for that bug:

I suspect this probably is not an OS-specific issue.  The test application I've
attached to this bug is a Python script which doesn't require any compilation or
build environment.  It should also run without modification on any platform
where pyatspi is available (e.g., OpenSolaris, Ubuntu, etc.).  Confirming the
problem with the test application should take only a few minutes, and the
complete instructions for reproducing the problem are in the opening comment for
this bug - please give it a try.

@OD: as described.

- run the attached script in a terminal
- in OOo Writer: Insert - Hyperlink
- Cycle between the tab pages "Internet", "Mail & News", "Document", and "New
Document"
-> the terminal output for "any_data" is always the last selected one, not the
current one

Note: this only happens when cycling with the *keyboard*
Comment 6 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2009-05-27 14:01:58 UTC 
fix in progress in cws swa11y32.

defect cause:
vcl event <list box entry selected> is also emitted, when a certain entry is
deselected in the icon choice control.
When you observe the output of the python script, you will see that on each
cursor key hit _two_ object:active-descendent-changed event are emitted.

solution:
suppress the sending of vcl event <list box entry selected>, when a certain
entry is deselected.
Comment 7 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2009-05-27 14:19:01 UTC 
But, I could not reproduce the described defect with recent version of OOo
(DEV300m46) when arrow up and down in the "File type" list box of the
"Hyperlink" dialog.
Comment 8 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2009-05-27 14:50:13 UTC 
fixed in cws swa11y32 - changed file:
/svtools/source/contnr/imivctl1.cxx, rev. 272354

OD->ES: Checked in internal installation set of cws swa11y32_2nd - please verify
Comment 11 williewalker 2009-08-04 15:44:31 UTC 
This fix has been confirmed by the Orca team using the
swa11y32_2nd_en-US_SolarisIntel.tar file Thomas Lange made for me
(300m51(Build:9408)[CWS:swa11y32_2nd]).

Many thanks!
