You are, and since you're not swiping to the Prev button, you might be hitting that explore by touch focus button in IOS 8. try doing a flick left and a flick right to get back to the Prev button and double tap. See if that fixes your issue. This is the work around I used in IOS 8, but it isn't necessary in IOS 9, since that focus bug has been fixed.

Hi. I'm running iOS 8.4. or 8.4.1—whichever one gave us Apple Music—on an 
iPhone 4S. I'm quite used to how the Mail app works. I generreenally start, in 
swiping order, at the last message in a thread, way down at the bottom of the 
screen. After reading that message, I press the previous botton, usually by 
placing my fering on it and performing a split-tap or double-tap on it, to move 
to the reply to the message I just read. Am I making sense?


Thanks,
Ari

What version of IOS are you running? I used to see this prior to IOS 9, and it 
was related to the focus bug. If you touched the Next button without swiping to 
it then a double tap might act on an adjacent button, like the Prev button. 
I've found this bug to be fixed in IOS 9.

Also, I think the way the Prev and Next button are supposed to work is that the 
Mail app remembers what direction you're moving in, so the Prev and Next button 
will take you to the next or previous message in that direction. This may be 
the opposite of what you're expecting. I don't notice it now, but it seems that 
when my iPhone was new to me, this would always confuse me a bit. IMHO, this 
wouldn't be a bug if this is how it's supposed to work.

Speaking of Mail bugs, has anyone had the problem of Mail going to the next 
message in a thread whem pressing the Previous button? This happens quite often 
to me, and it happens whether I directly press the button or flick to it and 
double-tap.

Thanks,

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one having focus issues with the mail app. I'd 
like to encourage others to  post what's happening with them, and, more 
importantly, write to accessibil...@apple.com to let them know what's up.

I don't think this is an old bug. I thought well, I guess it is an old bug, but 
it didn't go away. Focus in the email list has always been wacky. When you get 
a new email, of course you don't know this, but the focus switches. Even 
sometimes when you delete an email from the middle of the list, the focus is 
weird. This has been going on for at least since all of iOS 8.

Hi all. On my iPhone 6 running IOS 9.0.2, I'm noticing an old mail bug that I 
haven't seen since IOS 4 or 5 and it's driving me nuts.  When I open  and read 
a message that's in the middle of a long list, then exit back to the list, 
focus is often placed at the top of the list and I have to scroll down to where 
I left off.  The behavior isn't consistent, which is also crazy-making.  Is 
anybody else out there having this problem?  I wrote to Apple Accessibility and 
got a reply back saying that they can't reproduce the problem.
