I found another accessibility bug where the UI element hierarchy looking up
the parent tree is different from the hierarchy looking down the children
tree.
This one is in popup menu buttons. The menu button thinks its child is a
single menu, and that menu's child is a single menu item. The menu item,
however, thinks its parent is the popup menu button.
You can see this with UI Element Inspector, which normally looks up the
parent tree; hold the mouse over an open popup menu button's menu item, and
see that its parent is supposedly the popup menu button. Then freeze UI
Element Inspector and use its navigation tools to navigate to the menu
button, and see that its child is a menu.
This same mismatch existed in menu bar menus in Jaguar but was fixed in
Panther 10.3.0. The fix was apparently confined to the menu bar and did not
get fixed in popup menu buttons, because all of the menu buttons I've looked
at in Panther 10.3.5 exhibit the bug. Namely, the PDF Services popup menu in
the standard Print dialog (if you have converted it from an ordinary button
to a popup menu button by putting a "PDF Services" folder at /Library/PDF
Services or ~/Library/PDF Services) and the toolbar popup menu buttons in
Xcode (Build, Build and Run, etc.).
Does anybody want a Radar on this, or is it already known?
