Additionally I tried to figure out the reason as to why DeepL makes the `GetText` call with `INT_MAX` value by reading through all APIs of [ITextRangeProvider interface](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/uiautomationcore/nn-uiautomationcore-itextrangeprovider).
Tried to understand if the client application reads any attributes of the text range that can be used to determine the `maxLength` value.
If we find a dependency then the right way would have to fix that dependency. But I could not identify any attribute or any API that could be related to the `maxLength` value.
