Research direction

Reproduce the issue on the master-password screen using TalkBack on Android 14 with Keepass2Android 1.14-r4, first checking whether double-tapping the password input displays the keyboard. Done means the keyboard appears and the password can be entered through the screen reader. No source file or test is identified in the report, so the affected UI entry point must be located first.
