Description

An element on this page disrupts keyboard focus by either shifting focus to another location without user interaction, or failing to direct focus to newly appeared content after user interaction. This inconsistency can impede navigation and cause accessibility issues for keyboard and screen reader users.

How to fix

Ensure focus management is handled properly using JavaScript, such as calling element.focus() on new interactive content or when necessary, to prevent unexpected focus shifts.
