Element is an orphaned IAccessible in the tree

Type

Error

Description

The address of the object's IAccessible interface obtained for the given coordinates is a reference to an orphaned element in the element tree.

This issue is a problem for people who rely on a screen-reader and keyboard for navigation because elements will be treated as invisible and will not be announced to the user.

Possible causes

  • User interaction during verification, such as moving focus to a non-target HWND, interfered with the verification process.
  • An incorrect or invalid MSAA implementation.
