What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

This morning I saw that talkback was updated to beta 2, so I downloaded it to 
my phone, installed it and went to go read my email like I do every morning 
with my phone.  So I open Gmail, happily navigated the subject lines of Gmail, 
open a email where I posted the Samsung sIII review, to my surprise, talkback 
when using explore by touch would began to switch pains to other emails when I 
would attempt to move with my finger on the screen.  Some times it would read 
bits of the email but most of the time it would jump from one email to another 
email.  Now for my testing of another screen reader, I turned on mobile 
accessibility, turn off talkback and went back to reading my email in the Gmail 
app.  mobile accessibility along with crome vox worked like a charm, it read 
all of my email body with out jumping from one email to another when using 
explore by touch.  If there is a way to get a screen shot of how talkback is 
acting in the Gmail client, please educated me and will attempt to grab your 
team one.

Sorry did not know your team was not aware of the android version that runs the 
samsung galaxy sIII.  Its ICS 4.4 with samsung touch wiz 4.0.  Only in certain 
web views does the jumpingness happen.  Gmail, in a subject body and in the 
google play store.  However, this happens while navagating a list of apps, 
music and etc.  Hope this helps your team.

Cannot fix from the TalkBack side.  Bug filed against GMail.
