I am not sure if this is the expected behavior, because (as I understand it) when the Add images mode is disabled we are not expected to interact with images, thus the image is not rendered as an active UI > by default images are not focusable with tab key.

I'd wait for the PDF team to comment on that before triaging the a11y severity of this bug.

Hi Calixte, do you know what is the expected behavior for the flow described by Rares and myself above?

I'd say this is s3 at worst because it's not unreasonable to expect the user to try re-enabling the Add Images toolbar button if this doesn't work. That is, this is a reasonable workaround. But it might also be a wontfix depending on the answer to comment 2.

Yes those added annotations must be accessible from the keyboard.
