Would you be able to give me some specific examples to look for?

Don't worry about that as that's my problem. :-)

Is it your experience tht this only happens when your Android device becomes 
very busy doing other things?

>Kiss Launcher support.
>UI of this launcher uses may be non standard object type for Brltty.
>While using Talkback and while swipe from left to right or from right

Do you know if this launcher does its own gesture interpretation? I'm guessing 
that it takes over from Explore By Touch. If so, I'm guessing further that it 
isn't setting the Accessibility Focus to the current item. If all of this is 
true then the best fix would be for you to ask its developers to ensure that 
Accessibility Focus is always set appropriately.

>I know, that coordinating Talkback with Brltty while user uses Explore by 
>touch Android service with Talkback or other screen reader is not easy.

It's actually fairly easy. The reason that brltty and TalkBack cooperate so 
nicely is because they both set and react to changes to the Accessibility Focus 
property mentioned above.
