Reported 2023-03-12 12:50:16 PDT
For AccessibilityRole::StaticText objects, descriptionAttributeValue and titleAttributeValue are hardcoded to return empty string. We know an object's role value before going to the main-thread, so let's use this information. Also, accessibilityHitTest goes to the main-thread to access AXCoreObject::widget without checking AXCoreObject::isWidget first, which incurs unnecessary main-thread hits for things that are not widgets.
