Continuous reading partially broken in Firefox 17 (and perhaps some more apps) #162

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start firefox 17
2. Open a very long webpage (that would not hold on a single screen)
3. start continuous reading

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Talkback stops after reading the last visible element of the page, while it 
should continuously read elements until reaching the end of the web page.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
android 4.2, talkback 3.2.1, firefox 17, on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Please provide any additional information below.

A good thing would be to make the screen follow the Talkback focus by scrolling 
down to reveal the rest of the web content.

This is working as intended.

In Android, scrollable items can have potentially infinite length with items 
hidden past the visible area in the scroll view.  There can then be visible 
items not contained within the scroll view lower on the screen.  If we continue 
to scroll and read an infinitely long list, these visible items below the list 
will never be read.  We use earcons to alert the user to the fact that focus 
moves in and out of a scrollable area so they can return to it and scroll to 
the next set of items if they wish.
