I ran into cases where AxPosition and AxSize are being reported
incorrectly for menu items in Leopard, and I was wondering if anyone
else had encountered this and whether it's a known issue.
The first one (Bug# 5671984) just affects the Help menu and seems to
be due to the new Search field. All menu items that follow the
Search field in the Help menu report the position and size of the
menu item immediately above them instead of their own values. Check
out a longer Help menu with separators and you'll see that
everything is off by one.
The second one (Bug# 5671806) appears to affect the application menu
of Carbon applications. The position and size for the first few menu
items will be reported correctly, but at some point a menu item will
report the size and position of an earlier menu item (say 3 items
above it), and all subsequent menu items will follow suit (i.e. each
would report the position and size of the menu item 3 items above
it). This affects Finder (beginning with the separator above
Services) and iTunes (beginning with Preferences), but not Xcode or
Safari. Oh, and one of the menu items in the Finder's application
menu (Hide Others) randomly returns null for both position and
size... just for extra kicks I guess.
These aren't known bugs, so thanks for reporting them. I'll take a
look and maybe we can get these fixed in a software update (they won't
be fixed in 10.5.2, however).
