Issue Description

Expectation

Describe what you expected the product to do.

Actual

Describe what the product actually does.

How to Reproduce

On some pages like: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/package_manifest/index#revision_history

The analysis never finishes. I am injecting axe in this way:

const script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/axe-core/4.7.0/axe.min.js";
document.head.appendChild(script);

And then I just run axe.run().then(console.log) which it never ends.

Is there a way to get axe-core to abort once a certain time has lapsed? This would help with error handling if axe can't finish or takes too long.

Thanks for reporting. I tried running with the performance timer on. It halts somewhere through gathering nodes. Not sure what's going on but we'll be sure to look into it.

Hi @WilcoFiers did you get to a solution for this one? Here is another URL that breaks axe: https://www.ti.com/rf-microwave/products.html

Interestingly its not a very long list but a virtually scrolled table.

@ali-habibzadeh Afraid we haven't gotten around to this yet.
