dbind: Call to "GrabFocus" returned signature b; expected u

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Steps to reproduce:

Install latest LDTP
Enable accessibility
Logout once and login back, if just enabling accessibility, else ignore this step
export LDTP_DEBUG=2 in one gnome-terminal (Ubuntu 12.04)
ldtp

In second terminal

python
>>> from ldtp import *
>>> launchapp('gedit')
>>> click('*-gedit', 'btnOpen')

In first terminal, you will notice the following stack trace:

dbind-WARNING **: dbind: Call to "GrabFocus" returned signature b; expected u

Note: This worked on Ubuntu 11.04, but on that we can run the test with at-spi1. This has to be fixed, else this will block automated testing in Ubuntu 12.04

I had discussion with upstream authore Mike Gorse, he suggested that the latest at-spi2 has the fix for this.

If you need additional info, please let me know. Thanks

097e26 in at-spi2-atk should fix this. Will be in v2.3.90 on Monday.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This issue has been fixed upstream - http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2012-February/msg00001.html Thanks
