probably not infinite, but way too slow
Created attachment 44769 [details] patch the problem is that we can't call parentObjectUnignored while in accessibilityIsIgnored... it leads to a lot of recursiveness that might not ever end... it was being done when determining if an object was within a ARIA tree. that check should 1) be moved to all platforms 2) not call parentObjectUnignored()

Comment on attachment 44769 [details] patch That test case is huge. Is it possible to test the issue with a reduced test case? More problematically, that HTML looks to be a derivative work of Facebook. I suspect we don't have the right to re-license it under the BSD license.
the bug looks like its a result of the huge number of elements on the page, not in any particular snippet. i can only resubmit without a layout test
Created attachment 44773 [details] patch this patch omits the layout test. the slow down captured by this bug is a result of pages that have deeply nested hierarchy and a lot of it. i can't simulated a page without copying another webpage
