wrong Accessibility data (element position) on macOS on second monitor with high resolution

godbout28
Zotero's AX data is good on single monitor, and it's good on multiple monitors when the resolution is not high. as soon as the resolution is too high, Zotero returns wrong positions. made a video showing the issue but can't upload so pasting a dropbox public link here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pypg2569tdanawke8g607/zotero-ax-issue.mp4?rlkey=icqy2m7xl6kd9vvdtp6cacszq&dl=0

thanks!

    Does it work if you restart Zotero after changing the monitor resolution?

    This is likely a bug in the accessibility tool, though, not Zotero.

    no. restarting Zotero doesn't change anything. issue is still present.

    it's tested with a bunch of tools, including my own, and Apple's Accessibility Inspector. all show that Zotero return wrong AX positions. i had a video that showed how everything works fine with Safari for example, but too long.

    that being said, the exact same issue is present in Firefox too. seeable here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3uovae6awk8v5lh2cyp5p/firefox-ax-issue.mp4?rlkey=aq8rhiwwa4hlgangvnu59ugr0&dl=0

    Zotero being based on Firefox, i'm sure the issue comes from there. but i thought i'd report here also, because it affects Zotero. i've reported on Firefox bugtrack here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1949713
