Steps to reproduce

1. Turn TalkBack (or the available screen reader) on.
2. Activate the micvrosurvey feature from secret settings.
3. Launch a microsurvey after using the print feature.
4. Have a page with text in the background, behind the survey prompt.
5. Use Talkback to scan each element of the survey prompt.

Expected behavior

Each element is called out correctly, with the frame correctly around them.

Actual behavior

Talkback reads the text behind the survey prompt on some scolling positions.

Note: this seems to be a general Fenix behavior, for instance, explore-by-touch and tapping to place TalkBack focus both mostly do not work to select Print option in the Share menu.

Logical navigation with TalkBack (swiping left and right with one finger) works as expected though, excluding the radio button options on the survey - the view is not scrolled when reading the sheet with TalkBack

This seems to be a high impact access-S3 issue, because it could also interfere with the Universal Switch scan mode and would make it more difficult to use the interface by sighted TalkBack users (i.e. users with low vision, users with dyslexia, ADHD, etc)

The severity field for this bug is set to S4. However, the accessibility severity is higher, .
:rebecatudor273, could you consider increasing the severity?

I couldn't fix the issue but i will let here my insight.
From what i observed Talkback splits the screen in two sides: the webpage and the toolbar. After it finish to read all the elements from webpage, it starts to read toolbar’s elements. So the issue seems that the Microsurvey prompt is seen as part of the webpage side of the screen, overlaying it and that’s why Talkback can read what’s behind the prompt. The prompt is read as the last element of the webpage side.
I mainly tried to resolve the problem with Modifier, changing the focus order or making other changes of semantics.

I spent time looking into this issue but I could not fix it.
I tried to fix it by using semantics, or apply changes to the Microsurvey implementation(composable Popup).
