Bug 323995 [Accessibility] StyledText selection incorrect after caret moved event
Reported: 2010-08-30 12:38:24 | Status: resolved fixed

Eclipse 3.6.1 RC2. One of the JAWS developers sent me an email saying IAccessibleText::selection in StyledText was incorrect after he received a "caret moved" event. It turns out that this is because JAWS runs in-process, and StyledText does indeed send "caret moved" before finalizing the selection. When testing with AccProbe running out-of-process, this discrepancy went unnoticed, because the selection is finalized before an out-of-process client can ask for it.
