### STR: 1. With NVDA running, navigate to `View all` using keyboard (`Tab`) 1. Navigate to the second link in the list by pressing `Down Arrow` only 1. Press `Tab` and then press `Tab+Shift` ### Expected: 1. Focus visually would move to the second link when using `Down Arrow` 1. Pressing `Tab` would move the focus visually and programmatically to the next section (`Recently closed` tabs) 1. Pressing `Shift`+`Tab` would return the focus to the second link in the list of opened tabs ### Actual: 1. Focus stays on `View all` visually, while pressing `Enter` would activate a link from the list below 1. When a second link is announced by NVDA, pressing `Tab` moves the programmatic and visual focus to the third link in the list 1. Pressing `Shift`+`Tab` moves the programmatic and visual focus to the first link in the list The biggest concern here is that while keyboard-only users would use Arrow navigation for the list of links, screen reader users won't be able to move their focus visually, thus for sighted screen reader user like those with low vision or with dyslexia it would be confusing where the focus position is currently is and if the focus is moved and which control would be, in fact, activated should they press `Enter` now. The sudden added focusability of some controls just makes this issue with the clarity of navigation more confusing.
