Hy guys!
So, as the title says, I have a problem with facebook messenger. So, someone sent me a document through it, I guess with an attachment or whatever. Yeah, I know it's not possible to attach files through the phone interface, but the person used the web version and that worked, I suppose, since I have it in my inbox/chat/conversation/whatever.
So, problem is that, with talkback on, I can't hit the more options thingi so that I could then click download. But, surprisingly enough, without tb, a sighted managed to download it pretty fine without any problem whatsoever.
An even weirder thing starts when, after reactivating tb, messenger becomes completely unresponsive, to the point of locking the phone. So basically, I could hear the sounds for navigating through the controls, but no spoken output at all. Finally, the only thing remaining was to close the app completely from the recent apps list, only then it worked again after restart.
So, can anyone tell me how to do that download thingi, if at all possible? and more important, how is it that it blocked my phone when I turned on tb? and...does anyone know how to stop it from ever happening again? or even better, are there any messenger clients for windows, because messenger for web is no longer accessible in my browser, neither did I like the interface before, but now it's even more horible than it ever was.

Commentary Screen Reader/Jieshuo, is your best bet for this one... Grab the latest international version from the files section of
http://t.me/jieshuochat/
(Yeah, it's the Telegram group.)

NB. Since Commentary has recently added external keyboard shortcuts, I'll list them in a separate thread.

Right, about the Talkback problem, your best bet is to contact Facebook Accessibility directly either via

thing is, I don't even know what's the problem, tb would just read it as if it would be static text, even though, for example, links work alright, so do voice messages, and so on. I reported many accessibility issues about some apps I encountered in the past, some of them got fixed, while others didn't, but I always tryed to provide more info about the problem. In this case, I don't even know how to describe it in a way that's easely understandable, even I don't know what causes this, or what should really be there on the screen, in stead of the static text tb is reading.
