Hi Rich, That text for accessibleWithCaret is misleading: Propose: performant way to get caret offset within direct hypertext accessible containing the caret.
The use case (from https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2010-December/001311.html) 1. GetGUIThreadInfo(). // Get the HWND 2. AccessibleObjectFromWindow 3. Focused MSAA object = accObj->get_accFocus(). 4. Traverse down through the FF a11y tree to find the object with the caret. The problem presents itself because FF represents its text in hierarchical manner and the top level focused object can have a significantly deep tree of accessibles. A better synopsis might have been: Propose: performant way to get caret offset in an accessible when the accessible is deeply nested under a parent focused object.
