Reported by r.browse...@gmail.com, Nov 16 2016

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Some apps enable Accessibility service
2. Some JS/CSS events are not notified on following situations.

Case A) onmouseover (JavaScript) is not notified while the mouse pointer is put on the object.

a:focus, a:hover {
    border: 3px solid #F00 !Important;
    margin:-3px !Important;
}

※Everything works well when Accessibility service is disabled.

This is working as intended.

It's not all accessibility services, but TalkBack and other Android screen readers will definitely behave this way due to touch exploration.

When Android touch exploration mode is on, a single tap or drag on the screen lets the user explore and get a verbal description of the item under the finger. It moves "accessibility focus". By design this does NOT send the typical events. A double-tap anywhere on the screen clicks on the item with accessibility focus.

Please reopen if you think there's a legitimate bug, but I don't think the normal events should fire when touch exploration is on.
