Interference with browser apps when accessibility for droidVNC-NG is enabled

[Android-X13]

This is very strange and I'm not sure how/why the app's accessibility option is related to other apps like browsers, but whenever I enable accessibility for droidVNC-NG through the settings, my tab groups in Firefox Chrome or Brave (I have tested both) completely disappear and I'm only left with a list of all open tabs (no groups at all). The second I disable accessibility for droidVNC-NG, I am able to interact again with my tab groups in these browsers.

Please note that this does not happen when I activate accessibility for other apps, e.g. Anydesk.

So at the moment I have the accessibility option always disabled. When I want to use droidVNC-NG, I enable it and when I am done I have to disable it again. Is this option supposed to be activated once and be left like this?

Strange indeed! Are you able to find any other (server maybe) app that exposes the same behaviour?

Unfortunately the only other app on my device that needs accessibility permissions and I can test is Anydesk

You might also try alphavnc

OK I just tried it. Yes, it shows same behaviour when it is granted accessibility permissions. When I turn them off everything goes back to normal.

I made a mistake in my post, this happens in Chrome and Brave. Ironically it doesn't happen in Firefox (tab groups remain intact).

To reproduce this just make a tab group in Chrome, with two or more tabs, then turn ON/OFF the accessibility permissions while keeping an eye to the browser.
