Thanks Carlos, your investigation here and in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234739 has been really helpful.

This is definitely a big problem for us in the Mac isolated tree layout tests, both before and after https://commits.webkit.org/r287533 (but especially after :)). It's good that you caught that.

Andres thinks that this is symptomatic of a deeper issue in the core isolated tree logic, so he has some experiments he's going to try. We have done some limited testing with isolated tree + Safari internally and found that VoiceOver misses large swaths of content only in isolated tree mode, which may or may not be related to this problem.

For now, we aren't ready to move forward with this async test patch, or changing AccessibilityController::executeOnAXThreadAndWait. It would be helpful if you could:

1. Post another patch (without obsoleting the current one) with your changes to AccessibilityController::executeOnAXThreadAndWait as mentioned in comment 7
2. Leave this bug open for now while we investigate further

But in the meantime, feel free to workaround in WTR for atspi. If we find a core issue, and a fix for that issue, we can see if these changes aren't necessary. Otherwise we'll revisit after some more investigation.
