Component: Developer Tools → Developer Tools: Accessibility Tools
Will be fixed with next try, flashing will only now happen for simple fields (not expandable ones like states, actions, etc). Also it will only happen when there's actually a change in the value. No flashing will happen when different accessibles are selected.

Marking this as Verified as the issue is not reproducible on the current Nightly build 117.0a1 Build ID 20230716213402. The Accessibility tab is enabled by default and no flashes occur when opening the Toolbox with the Accessibility tab focused.
