Description When shortcut gestures are configured to navigate Android accessibility actions, the list of available actions is not always refreshed after switching to another window or app. After changing windows, Jieshuo sometimes keeps the old actions from the previous focused element. These stale actions remain available “under the finger” even though they no longer belong to the current focused item. Steps to reproduce: Enable shortcut gestures in Jieshuo. Configure shortcut gestures to navigate Android accessibility actions. Focus an element that has accessibility actions. Switch to another window or app, or move to a different screen. Try using the shortcut gestures for actions again. Actual result: Jieshuo sometimes presents old actions from the previous window or previous focused element. These actions behave like “ghost actions”. I have to select one of these stale actions before Jieshuo resets or refreshes the action list. Expected result: After changing windows, apps, or focused elements, Jieshuo should immediately refresh the list of available accessibility actions. Only actions belonging to the current focused element should be available. Impact: This is confusing and can lead to activating an action that does not belong to the current context. It makes shortcut-gesture navigation of Android actions unreliable. |
