DOMi

Contract planned

not organized ideas (for now)

new features

• provide js console for viewers, it can shared between left and right panel and placed under panels, output area should be presented as well, it can be turned on/off by menu or button placed at the bottom of domi. It's similar to option of context menu on accessible tree viewer.
• add an ability to inspect several objects the same time, each object viewer can be hosted in own tab, context menus so that you can easy inspect related objects and switch between them
• add an ability to inspect any property of accessible interfaces (new tabs in accessible properties viewer)
• add 'find node by click' for accessible tree view
• add custom filters for watched events by target
• add ability to filter handled event list by values in tree columns of event list

bugs

• fix blinking (it's buggy, sometimes shows wrong area and sometimes blinking artifacts are left, for accessible objects nsIAccessible::getBounds should be used).

small enhancements

• conext menu item on accessible events viewer to register event listeners (should switch to 'event watch' tab, find event in the list, enable event listener and focus event listener area)
