Description Brian Merrell 2009-05-16 04:26:26 UTC 
PROBLEM STATEMENT

I am a bit confused, but it looks like I am getting a UTF-8 value back from the text interface of a TrackBar's "slider" accessible.  The value I expect is "1".  I am getting back a "1" in a string, but it appears to be prefixed with some UTF-8 bytes.  The value I am getting is '\xe2\x80\x8e1', that is, a "1" prefixed with "\xe2\x80\x8e".  Obviously, my test fails because '1' != '\xe2\x80\x8e1'.  "\xe2\x80\x8e" alone (without the "1", appears to be a blank space or something).

REPRO

1.  Run Accerciser and open the "IPython Console" tab
2.  Run uia2atk/test/samples/trackbar.py
3.  In Accerciser, browse to and select either of the "slider" accessibles of the trackbar.py (ipy) application
4.  In Accerciser's IPython console, do the following:

ti = acc.queryText()
ti.getText(0, ti.characterCount)

RESULTS

'\xe2\x80\x8e1' is printed to the IPython console

EXPECTED RESULTS

I am expecting just a '1'
