This bug is the cause for gnopernicus' bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149789
I have tried to add state_showing for XUL text. But Flat review mode of gnopernicus still can't access it. When switch to flat review mode, "3 empty lines" has been reported. After using up/down arrow key several times, only "first line" and "last line" can be reported.
Without SPI_STATE_SHOWING gnopernicus does not 'read' the _text_object_. With SPI_STATE_SHOWING gnopernicus reports the Text interface of the object exposing this interface. BUT this text object has a empty Text interface. So this object should be: 1. a label (in this case it won't have a text interface sa gnopernicus will report the accessible name of the object) or 2. a text object with the Text interface containing the informatin (in this particular case the information exposed via name should be exposed via Text interface). We belive this is the best solution for the flat review presentation. For gnopernicus flat review is very important to find a 'valid' Text interface. Also please update your gnopernicus because yesterday we made some changes in flat review algorithm (the check box from the Caret Browsing dialog is reported now).

Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.
