Environment Details:​

Application Name: Rachel's Recipe
Operating System: Android 13
Screen Reader: Talkback

Repro Steps:

1. Install and open ".NET MAUI" app.
2. Swipe till "My Recipes" and double tap.
3. Swipe till any existing recipe and double tap.
4. "Recipe" Screen will open.
5. Swipe till "Edit" button and double tap.
6. "Edit recipe" page will open.
7. Start Talkback and try to Enter text in "Ingredients" and "Recipe" field.
8. Observe the issue.

Actual Results:

Talkback focus is not moving correctly when we try to edit in "Ingredients" and "Recipe". When we double TAP to activate the control and tries to edit, whatever we are editing that is coming into 1st line along with existing text.

Expected Results:

Talkback focus should move correctly when we try to edit in "Ingredients" and "Recipe". When we activated the control, edit focus should be at the last line.

User Impact:

Talkback users will face difficulties while editing the recipe and will not be able to add next ingredients.

Hi, @PoojaNamde - thanks for reporting this issue. Are you referring to the cursor position in the editor text fields? Do you mean that the cursor position, which currently gets initialized at the beginning of the text, should be moved to the end of all the existing text? This is my understanding of what you mean, but please let me know if I'm mistaken

[PoojaNamde]

@rachelkang

Yes the cursor position should be moved to the end of all the existing text.

This may fix windows/ios: #15099

I have not tested/changed android code.

@mattleibow

Could you please provide the latest application build to verify this issue.

@PoojaNamde I tested this using a very basic native android app and the behavior you describe AFAICT is how native android works. Also, if you test any 1st party android apps they also work the same way.

I checked this issue in the Android again and tried to move the cursor using "Action-> Move cursor to the end" but it is also not working here. Talkback is not even announcing where the cursor is. So is there any way to move the cursor to the last line.

(We have worked around the issue by using Placeholder text instead of SemanticProperties.Description)

An updated app will be provided for all the fixes marked in this repo, as soon as it is made available.

The "Action-> Move cursor to the end" will be working

@rachelkang

Please provide the latest application build once its available to verify this issue.

[PoojaNamde]

Verified this issue in the latest provided environment, issue is fixed. When we navigate to control and double tap to activate the control and move the cursor using "Action-> Move cursor to the end". We are able to edit the "Ingredient" and "recipe". Hence closing the bug.
