           Summary: [Gtk] atk_text_set_caret_offset fails
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)

test case

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the attached test case and enable caret browsing.

2. Select either the heading or paragraph in Accerciser's object tree.

3. With that object selected, and using Accerciser's iPython Console, type:

     acc.queryText().setCaretOffset(0)

4. Alt+Tab back into the browser (i.e. so as not to move the caret accidentally by clicking).

Expected results: The caret would be repositioned at the beginning of the object.

Actual results: The caret is not moved.

I suspect this is a causality of The Great Hierarchy Flattening and hoping Mario has time to take a look. (And add it towards the top of the stack. I'm working on Orca's Epiphany script, and really, really need to be able to set the caret.)

Thanks in advance!
