UiObject2 referring to wrong element

[sravanmedarapu]

Referring to previously created UiObject2 object which is not exist in the screen (in the same activity) pointing to a random element instead of throwing StaleObjectException.

Example code snippet:

        UiObject2 elementInScrollView = mDevice.findObject(By.desc("Auto Complete"));
        elementInScrollView.getText();
        //returns "Auto Complete"

        //scroll down to make sure that "Auto Complete" not present in the screen
        mDevice.swipe(100, 400, 100, 50, 100);

        elementInScrollView.getText();
        //returns some random element text in the screen ex: List

        mDevice.pressBack();
        elementInScrollView.getText();
        //throws `StaleObjectException` 

Device API Level: 23
AUT: API Demos(Inbuilt app)

I suspect something wrong to AccessibilityNodeInfo here when getAccessibilityNodeInfo called from UiObject2

PFA screenshot for the functional understanding.
