           Summary: [GTK][ATK] Please implement support for
                    get_text_at_offset
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: joanmarie.diggs at gmail.com
                CC: xan.lopez at gmail.com, William.Walker at sun.com


The accessible text interface includes methods to get a specified amount of
text, given a caret offset and a boundary type. For more information please see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/pygtk/stable/class-atktext.html.

Usage/need example: (Once caret-moved events have been implemented) A user
presses Down Arrow and WebKit emits a caret-moved event with, say, detail1 ==
30. As a result, an AT such as Orca should present the line of text at offset
30 which it could obtain by:

  acc.queryText().getTextAtOffset(30, TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_START)

The expected result would be something like:

  ('This is a test', 25, 39)

Currently we get something like:

  ('', -1074032920, 152169976)

As a result, it is difficult to present the new position to the user.

Thanks!
