Type
Error
Description
The address of the object's IUIAutomationElement 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 UI Automation implementation.
