The stack at issue:

  File "IAccessibleHandler\__init__.pyc", line 1075, in pumpAll
  File "IAccessibleHandler\__init__.pyc", line 879, in processForegroundWinEvent
  File "IAccessibleHandler\__init__.pyc", line 559, in winEventToNVDAEvent
  File "UIAHandler\__init__.pyc", line 839, in isUIAWindow
  File "UIAHandler\__init__.pyc", line 788, in _isUIAWindowHelper

It would be good if we could determine:

• Is this easily reproducible?
• Is isUIAWindow taking the majority of time, or did are there several slow aspects and this just happened to be executing when the stack snapshot was taken. To determine this we may need more logging in processForegroundWinEvent/winEventToNVDAEvent

Hello, I dont think It is very hard to reproduce, I also forgot to add that I have jaws 2022 installed on that computer. Could that be interfeering somehow? I could not understand the second item of the list very well. Can you please explain it ina simpler way? I may be able to collect more logs with that information. Thank you.

[abdulari]

can't reproduce using NVDA2022.3 with espeak-turkish. @burakyuksek, could you try to reproduce this issue again on your side using NVDA 2022.3?

Closing this as can't reproduce. @burakyuksek please let us know if this is still an issue with the latest Chrome version and NVDA 2023.1.
