Description joaniediggs 2009-08-24 16:56:36 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Accerciser and OOo Writer
2. Turn event monitoring on in Accerciser
3. Click to expand either Font Color or Highlighting
4. Arrow amongst the colors

Expected results: Each time the selected color changed an
object:selection-changed event and an object:active-descendant-changed event
would be emitted.

Actual results: object:selection-changed and object:active-descendant-changed
events are absent.

Impact: Screen readers such as Orca have no way of knowing that the user has
selected a different color and cannot, therefore, present the newly-selected
color to the user.

(As a related aside, how does one use the keyboard to expand the Font Color and
Highlighting drop-downs?)

cd: Currently I only see one problem on Gnome. The floating windows opened by
toolbar buttons won't received the input focus therefore this part is not fully
keyboard accessible. The color floater do send object:selection-changed events
and an object:active-descendant-changed events (tested on DEV300m77 on Gnome 2.22.3.
Comment 4 carsten.driesner 2010-05-10 10:11:08 UTC 
cd: The framework toolbar manager implementation now ensures that a created
popup window receives the focus.
