           Summary: [Gtk] Formatted text should not result in
                    additional/separate accessibles
           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


Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the (to be) attached test case.

2. Examine the accessible hierarchy in Accerciser.

Expected results: There would be a single accessible object for the text "This
is bold text." (The boldness of the word "bold" would be exposed to ATs as a
text attribute. See bug 25528.)

Actual results: There are three accessibles ("This is ", "bold", and " text.")

Xan: Is this representation fundamental to WebKit, or is it a a11y-specific
rendering? If the former, let's drop the priority of this bug and I'll see what
I can do to work around it in Orca. Otherwise, it would be good for this text
to be exposed in a fashion consistent with what we get from other apps. Thanks!
