2.1.1 wizard with Text border fix from 3.0 stream applied
Kevin and/or Nick, you need to force this or we won't make the change as it's a bit late in 2.1.1 to make changes (unless you think it's important). The fix is not very dangerous ... but it is late in the release cycle, no? Jeff, this one was not on the list but Nick and Kevin are on the PR so they have been informed. Basically, we can fix this easily or this will be automatically fixed if the UI puts back the Label widget instead of the Text widget in the wizards. There appear to be a number of problems with changing the label to a text widget. In this scenario it does not seem to get much value and makes for some hokey behaviour. Nick advises that changing back is easy. I suggest that we investigate that path. Tod, looks like we should back out of this since it causes unexpected layout and appearance changes on Motif. While it would have been nice to improve accessibility here, there is no strong requirement to do so for 2.1.1. If the computeSize fix is not going into 2.1.1 then we can back out but if it is the problem will be fixed. Tod, the fix for the computeSize you refer (Bug#38213) was released yesterday in the R2_1_maintenance branch. Although the computeSize change is in, we're not sure at this point about putting the motif Text border change into 2.1.1 (contrary to my previous comment, sorry). We would prefer to have the UI change reverted. We will back out of the change for 2.1.1 but it will remain in the current integration stream. For accessibility, we need a caret so that the user of an assistive technology can arrow through the contents of the field. It is OK if the caret is not visible as long as screen magnifiers know that the focus is on that field via MSAA. Screen reader and screen magnifier users need the caret to arrow through the field to spell/see individual words, etc. in the event the error text is not easily understood when spoken or viewed as a whole. This is released in the 3.0 stream. *** Bug 80464 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
