Description of the issue:
When a Brave “app” (created by creating a shortcut) receives any macOS Accessibility event, its window will close immediately.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Brave
- Navigate to any website.
- Create a shortcut to the website as an app, per the steps at https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/3060053?hl=en. Make sure to check “Open as window” when creating the shortcut.
- Open the created “app”. This will show the website in a new window, with less browser chrome.
- Launch Accessibility Inspector.
- Click the “Crosshair” button and hover the “app” window.
Instead of steps 5+6, one can also use any other tool that uses the Accessibility API, such as BetterTouchTool or my app Timing.
Actual Result:
The window will close almost immediately.
Expected Result:
The window should not close, and Accessibility Inspector should show information about the window.
Reproduces how often:
Always
Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Brave version 1.12.114
Reproducible on current live release (yes/no):
