Description

when using termux-dialog with the sheet vidget and with talkback application, I hav scrolling and navigation problems.

my recomendation:
start a window as new standalone activity and use builtin android ListView view or create activity as ListActivity and don't use any other gui elements.
may be add this behavior as new vidget.

Research direction

Start by locating the termux-dialog sheet widget implementation and exercising it with Android TalkBack. Compare its scrolling and navigation behavior with a standalone activity using the suggested ListView or ListActivity approach. Done means the sheet widget can be scrolled and navigated reliably with TalkBack, with the behavior verified on Android.
