FLUID-3884: NVDA feedback after editing a text area is the url to the page on IE8

Description

After editing text, the url to the page is read. Perhaps because focus was on a now hidden input?

Environments

win xp, IE8, nvda

  A similar issue exists where when focus is placed on the rich text inline edit field, NVDA reads "Link" and then the URL of the page.

  I cannot reproduce this on my IE8, Win XP SP3.

  However, I can reproduce this on my IE8 with Compatibility mode, or the IE7 mode by IE's DebugBar plugin.

  I have reproduce this on IE8 now. It sometimes do read the button text instead of the URL.

  In InlineEdit.js line 125 (or line 111), when that.textEditButton.focus(0) is called, NVDA on IE8 would return "button <http://******>" instead of "Edit Text *** button". It seems as though the focus on the button was not found on IE8. Looking at the function "finish", at line 80; switchToViewMode() switches the view to visible again before calling focus. If I add a time delay between line 124 and 125, then NVDA seems to report the button fine.

  suggested solution #1: call focus through listener instead of running it directly after finish(that) on line 125.
  suggested solution #2: Set a delay for IE8. setTimeout(function(){that.textEditButton.focus(0);}), 150); on line 125.

  Update: tried solution #1, added that.textEditButton.focus(0) in afterFinishEdit.addListener(), didn't work.

  Not only after editing, it happens after you press escape as well.

  The problem cannot be reproduced with the newest NVDA 2011.1 Beta1.

  System:
  WinXP SP3, IE8

  This appears to be a bug in NVDA, which Harris has noted is fixed in the latest version.
