Accessibility Verifier warning

Hi all,

I have come across another oddity in running the Accessibility Verifier. I have a searchfield on the main window of my application, and when I run the Verifier I see this warning:

Fetching all elements (no errors or warnings)
Parent/Child (no errors or warnings)
Window (no errors or warnings)
Missing AXDescription or AXTitleUIElement (1 warnings)
warning: AXButton - "", Missing AXTitle with no AXDescription or AXTitleUIElement attribute
AXApplication - "Notebook" > AXWindow(AXStandardWindow) - "Notebook Entries" > AXTextField(AXSearchField) - "Search field" > AXButton - ""

In the lower pane I see this:


AXApplication - "Notebook"
  AXWindow(AXStandardWindow) - "Notebook Entries"
    AXButton(AXCloseButton) - "close button"
    AXButton(AXZoomButton) - "zoom button"
    AXButton(AXMinimizeButton) - "minimize button"
    AXButton - "Remove Notebook Entry"
    AXButton - "Notebook Entry Add button"
    AXScrollArea
    AXTextField(AXSearchField) - "Search field"
      AXButton - ""
   [...]


Now I have attached Description and Help tags to the NSSearchField (and even, to be on the safe side, the child NSSearchFieldCell) As far as I can see the SearchField has no child other than the SearchFieldCell. What is this warning referring to, and what UI element is the mysterious "AXButton"?

Thanks for any guidance you may be able to offer.


Ian.
