Description
### Expected
I would expect to be able to navigate to the note editing area to edit notes with a screen reader (NVDA).
### Observed
The cursor skipped the note editing area from the search bar and moved to the tags section.
### Reproduced
*Exact steps shared in 3354940-zen*
1. Open Simplenote web app (https://app.simplenote.com/)
2. Find and open one note.
3. Press e to move to the next edit field. (Here user could search their notes.)
4. Press e to move to the next edit field. (In the previous version, here the user could modify their notes.)
5. The cursor moves to the next edit field (added tag).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Open the Simplenote web app in Firefox on Windows and reproduce the navigation sequence with NVDA: open a note and press e through the search and edit fields. Trace the web app's note view and editing controls to find why the note editor is skipped; done means NVDA can reach the note editing area before the tags field.
