[TalkBack] Accessibility focus does not follow system focus in Play Store descriptions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On a device running Android 4.1 or newer:
1.  Open an app description in the play store.
2.  Down arrow until "What's New" is reached, and then one more time to focus 
the changelog.
3.  Listen to what is spoken.

In Jellybean, Talkback says nothing when this text is reached. One must use 
swipe gestures or touch exploration to hear the information. In ICS and older, 
the information is spoken correctly.

Using Talkback 3.3.0 beta 3 under Android 4.2.

More generally, focus does not follow when we encounter the following View 
hierarchy:

Focusable, no text, blocks descendant focus => Focusable with text

Swiping correctly skips the parent view and focuses the child, but keyboard 
focus can only move to the parent view and the subsequent follow focus action 
doesn't know where to go.
