Since I've started using NVDA on a portable computer with a touch screen running windows 8.1, I've noticed that there are some Inconsistencies between "mouse tracking" and the object navigation on a touch screen, related to the correct detection and recognition of objects on the screen. In some cases, the "mouse tracking" fails to detect and report an object on the screen, while the object navigation ("touch exploration") reports it correctly. In some other cases however, the "mouse tracking" correctly reports an object, while the "touch exploration" fails to do so. Shouldn't the 2 functionalities work the same?

There are a lot of examples for such inconsistencies. Some of them are in the modern Windows 8.1 interface and apps, and some others - in the standard Windows interface. Most of those are related to static text objects. If you need concrete examples, I can give you some.
