I can reproduce the issue with the file you attached. I have tuned the lenght to 20000, since on my machine it is pretty responsive for that length and I think that is long enough that no user would want to hear a message that long. If users complain we can always fine tune the number.

@alexdima sorry about this! As you suggest I think we can tackle this on the aria alert side, since no user will listen to 15mb of text being read out. Thus all alerts should have a cap before they are put in the DOM.
