Description
Navigating up to the top bar from the top left most item on the home screen catalog will move focus to the profile icon instead of the active top menu item. This is not very logical from a user experience perspective.
I think the problem is caused by the fact that the profile icon is closer to the top left item of the catalog which causes android to choose it to focus next.
See this video that shows the problem:

The carousel has been removed for this video but the same problem can be seen on the favourites tab where navigating up from the the Movies chip will focus the profile icon whist all other chips will focus the Favourites tab item.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the focus behavior shown in the linked video on the home screen catalog and the favourites tab, then inspect the Android TV focus-navigation entry points involved. Done means navigating up from the top-left item focuses the active menu tab instead of the profile icon.
