The reason behind it is that the `getAccessibleChildrenCount` API is called on the old `accessibleContext` object which return the children count as 0. Whenever we switch the page the children count is recalculated based on the root element but the `accessibleContext `object used to retrieve the child remains unchanged and due to that it return the children count 0.

probably we should call validate first, so it will be in the valid state before being leaked to the "setElementInfo" method.
