VS Code issue microsoft/vscode#96392
Comments from @joanmarie on what Orca is doing in Linux
Orca is doing an accessibility tree dive from the bottom up, looking for something with the accessible role of "status bar". I recently had to change it to sanity-check candidate status bars for the "showing" and "visible" accessibility states because VSCode has -- or at least used to have -- some offscreen element with ARIA role status and no contents. Orca was finding it first and not bothering to look any further.
@feerrenrut: Yeah, I ran into that Chrome hit-test thing myself in a different context. Orca now asks twice -- at least for the place where the issue came up.
