Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open Element with VoiceOver enabled
2. Open a room with recent replies
3. Navigate to the bottom of the screen
4. Begin navigating backward, either by swiping to the left, pressing left arrow on a Bluetooth keyboard, or pressing Space+dot 1 on a braille display
5. When you reach a reply with the original message above it, try to move past it

### Outcome

When a reply is reached, VoiceOver will not move past it to older messages. Swiping from the top works, but that can be very inconvenient if you have many Matrix rooms and are on an iPad, where the room list is always on screen, or if there are a lot of old messages displayed.
