           Summary: AX: [ATK] <span> elements exposed through ATK when not
                    needed
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: mario at webkit.org

The patch for bug 121335 has introduced a change in how is determined when an accessibility object gets ignored that causes that all <span> elements show up in the accessibility tree even when they should not (e.g. not explicitly focusable due to tabindex, no ARIA rule mandating that, no meaningful accessible name...)

For that reason the following tests are failing now, as the StaticText objects inside those <span> elements are not getting properly folded into their parents anymore:

platform/gtk/accessibility/spans-paragraphs-and-divs.html
platform/gtk/accessibility/spans.html
